Pascal's prayer of surrender.

Good Monday afternoon, my friends.

Accepting Jesus Christ as our Saviour implies surrendering our lives to Him.  The prayer below by Blaise Pascal captures the essence of this surrender beautifully.  Use it to re-affirm your commitment today.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

O Lord, let me not henceforth desire health or life, except to spend them for Thee, with Thee, and in Thee. 

Thou alone knowest what is good for me; do, therefore, what seemest Thee best. 

Give to me, or take from me; conform my will to Thine; 

and grant that, with humble and perfect submission, and in holy confidence, I may receive the orders of Thine eternal Providence; 

and may equally adore all that comes to me from Thee; 

through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

-- Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
