Prayer: Lancelot Andrews

Lord Jesus, I give you my hands to do your work. I give you my feet to go your way. I give you my eyes to see as you do. I give you my tongue to speak your words. I give you my mind that you may think in me. I give you my spirit that you may pray in me. Above all, I give you my heart that you may love in me all that you have created. I give you my whole self that you may grow in me, so that is it you, Lord Jesus, who live and work and pray in me.

  1. This meaningful prayer puts me in mind of "Take Lord and receive..." which I pray every morning. May I surrender all to our loving Lord.

  2. It is like a combination of Teresa of Avila's prayer and Ignatius' suscipe.
