Instruments of Your Love

Loving Creator God,
you formed my being in my mother’s womb
and you know me better than I know myself.

I don’t know what the future holds,
but I trust in your divine will and goodness.

You give purpose and meaning to all that exists.
The beauty of all creation proclaims your love!

I open my heart and soul to your loving guidance,
trusting that you will show me how best to serve you
with the life and gifts you have so graciously given me.

You are great and I am small, and with this knowledge
I humbly offer myself to be an instrument of your love
for all creation!

May I align my life and energies according to your will
according to the witness of Jesus, the Risen One
and with the power of the Holy Spirit.
