Prayer of Surrender

God, I totally surrender myself to You.

God, I totally surrender my will to Your Will.

God, thank You for helping me be Your servant.

God, thank You for helping me use my talents and abilities to serve You best.

God, thank You for helping me stand aside so You can work through me.

God, thank You for helping me recognize You in my self.

God, thank You for helping me recognize You in everyone and everything.

God, thank You for helping me recognize my Self.

Amen.

  1. Nice one, Jim! Quite beautiful and simple.

    A good thing to remember during the prayer, too…
    Who is the “I’…is it Jim, (the human being) or the Atman (the inner self) speaking the prayer?

  2. Very good point, Tom. The little self is surrendering itself to God.

    I have plenty of room for new realizations.

  3. no path at all

    there is no path
    but the path
    which is no path at all

    the past and the
    future are
    memories and dreams that

    are not framing
    the present
    they are not real per se

    just in your mind
    use it to
    see the perfection that is

  4. Jim, This was beautiful and blessed me. Thanks for sharing! May God continue to bless you to be a blessing to others.

  6. not that it may be of any particular significance to anyone, but I write songs and play guitar. My prayer has been “God, may my music be from and of you. May I be your instrument and may I stay in tune”.

    just an aside from the above aside: “amen” simply means to the effect of “so it is”.

  7. “A Most Powerfully Effective Prayer born of Wisdom” I intend to USE it in my life often.

    Thank You Jim Kitzmiller for leading me here,
