A Prayer for Surrender

Dear Spirit,

My deepest desire now is to surrender to You
but I don’t know how to help myself with that.
I surrender to not knowing.
I’m tired of living from my ego,
trying desperately to control the outcome with my mind,
believing that I know better than You.
I’m tired of trying so hard to do what is right,
when I know that all You willingly offer me is everything that my heart holds.
I’m tired of resisting You.
I’m tired of the fight.
Take me now Spirit into Your embrace.
Help me to feel You cradle me in Your love.
That I may soften my body and rest my mind, trusting in You to carry me.
May I be like the newborn,
innocent and knowing only of Your tenderness.
May I receive You in my heart,
with every beat.
and with my every breath.

And so it is.
