Surround me with Your love and guidance, O God;
I am not safe without You.
I am constantly exposed to this stressful world.
I am in danger sometimes of losing the battle to the very shortcomings of my own nature.
I can only surrender myself to You
and believe that You will fulfill Your purpose in me.
I surrender to Your will, O God,
even when I am beaten down by depression
and caught up by my defects
and my own appetites threaten my recovery.
You are my God, and You will not let me go.
Your love, O God, is an answered promise.
Your wisdom is an answered prayer.
