Prayer of Abandonment

Father, I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,

and in all Your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you Lord,

and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands,
without reserve,

and with boundless confidence,

For you are my Father.

--Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) art
