Prayer of Surrender

Third Step Prayer

God, I offer myself to Thee — to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better doThy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy
will always!

Personal Comment: What can I offer to you today my God? Here I am, I offer you my whole being, my mind, my soul and all that I am. You are God and I am only a human being created and fashioned by You in my mother's sanctuary of love. In my humanness you share with me your Godliness by the gift of breath that you bestowed and makes me alive today. Here I am my God, use me as Thou wilt, for I am only a vessel, an instrument of your Hands and Feet. Sometimes my selfish nature overwhelms me, so I humbly ask you to relieve me of the weight of my selfishness. My desire and joy today is to please you like a wife wanting to please her husband. In my going out of self with your grace I am willing to live this life in radiating only your love and your kindness to others. My only concern is to focus only on doing your will today and always. Amen
