Pray hardest when it is hardest to pray. Prayer is a powerful thing, for God has bound and tied Himself thereto.

Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will. Let be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You. Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it.
Amen.

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin, just for today.

Let me both diligently work, And duly pray.
Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today.

Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself, Just for today.

And if today my tide of life should ebb away,
Give me thy sacraments divine, Sweet Lord today.

So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray,
But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for today.
