Today's prayer

This was the prayer that i read today during my stillness time -

All that I am Lord
I place into Your hands.
All that I do, Lord,
I place into Your hands.
Everything I work for,
I place into Your hands.
Everything I hope for,
I place into Your hands.
The troubles that weary me,
I place into Your hands.
The thoughts that disturb me,
I place into Your hands.
Each that I pray for,
I place into Your hands.
Each that I care for,
I place into Your hands.
~ Oswald of Northumbria

And my heart just loved the sweet surrender. Giving All of these things and trusting them to the God who is sufficient. Placing them into the hands of the God who is enough. releasing the things that i want, the questions i have, the things that trouble me, the people i love and care for. I'm so thankful that "Oswald of Northumbria" wrote this prayer down! It was a wonderful gift to my heart today.
