Another Prayer from the Valley

--from the Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions

O God whose will conquers all,

There is no comfort in anything
apart from enjoying thee
and being engaged in thy service;

Thou art All in all, and all enjoyments are what to me
thou makest them, and no more.

I am well pleased with thy will, whatever it is,
or should be in all respects,

And if thou bidst me decide for myself in any affair
I would choose to refer all to thee,
for thou art infinitely wise and cannot do amiss,
as I am in danger of doing.

I rejoice to think that all things are at thy disposal,
and it delights me to leave them there....

I can of myself do nothing to glorify thy blessed name,
but I can through grace cheerfully surrender soul and
body to thee.
