A Prayer

“Accompany us, O God, from one hour to the next throughout this day. You know that we seek You on awakening, promising You to do Your will, but that afterward we get caught up in things that are not You. My God, do not abandon us, do not allow us to do our will, but solely a little part of Yours. My God, do not abandon us, do not allow us to act instead of You. My God, do not abandon us, but let every word we pronounce today be a stammering toward You; let it become a prayer.”
~Adrienne von Speyr
