For Submission to God’s Will
O LORD, save us from idle words, and grant that our hearts may be truly cleansed and filled with Thy Holy Spirit, and that we may arise to serve Thee or lie down to sleep in entire confidence in Thee and submission to Thy will, ready for life or for death. Let us live for the day, not overcharged with worldly cares, but feeling that our treasure is not here, and desiring truly to be joined to Thee in Thy heavenly Kingdom and to those who are already gone to Thee. O Lord, let us wait patiently; but do Thou save us from sin, and guide us with Thy Spirit, and keep us with Thee and in faithful obedience to Thee; through Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord. Amen.
