Deign to fulfill Thy high purposes in me whatever they be
—work in and through me.
I am born to serve Thee, to be Thine, to be Thy instrument.
Let me be Thy blind instrument.
I ask not to see—I ask not to know
—I ask simply to be used. (John Henry Newman)
I ran across this prayer in my snow day reading.
Some days are easier to pray like this than others, but today is one of those of days.
I ask simply to be used…it’s as simple as that.
