surrender

God, my Father, I thank you for all that you are 

and all that you do for me 

through your son Jesus Christ

I praise you for my life

for your mercy and for your Eucharist

In Jesus' name, Father, I place myself entirely in your Heart

I surrender to you my whole self, my heart, my mind

my memory, my imagination, my will

my emotions, my passions, my body, my sexuality

my desire for human approval, my weaknesses, my desires, my sins

I surrender every person in my life to you

I surrender every situation in my life to you

I surrender every relationship I am in to you

I surrender every concern I have to you

I surrender every fear I have to you

I surrender every doubt I have to you

I surrender all confusion I have to you

I surrender all sadness I am experiencing in my heart to you

I surrender all my wounds to you

I surrender all anxiety and worry I have to you

I surrender all that deceives me in my heart to you

I trust you to care for me and others in a perfectly loving way

As I have emptied myself, and surrendered everything to you

I ask you now, Father, to fill me with your Holy Spirit 

and all the gifts and fruits of your Spirit

Holy Spirit you are the source of love, hope, joy, peace, patience
goodness, gentleness, tenderness, faithfulness, humility

and self-control

Purify my desires

Help me to open my heart to you

Help me to become perfectly receptive as a pure child

Help me to believe in your love for me

Help me to hope in your love

Help me to receive from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus 

all grace and virtues necessary for me to become the person you created me to be

I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Your son, God Almighty Father

O Most Holy Immaculate Virgin Mary

I entrust this prayer to your Heart

and ask you to press it to your wounded heart 

and intercede for me to your Son Jesus

Please help me to be as you are

a perfect disciple, an obedient servant, a true child of God

                    Amen
