Surround Me with Your Love, God

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.
