Surrendering Ourselves to God
PRAYER.

Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. Look upon me in Your love and let me always surrender myself to You.

WE are all more or less sinners against God's grace, many of us grievous sinners. God may spare us, He may punish. In either case, however, our duty is to surrender ourselves into His hands that He may do what He will.

Let us beg of Him not to forsake us in our miserable state. Let us ask Him to enable us to hate sin truly and confess it honestly and to bear His judgments cheerfully.
