PRAYER OF ABANDONMENT

by Charles de Foucauld

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 life;
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. Amen.
