Oratio Divina: Not Of Me

Not my will Lord
but yours be done
not my thoughts Lord
but yours be thought
not my words Lord
but yours be spoken
not my actions Lord
but yours be taken
may I diminish Lord
that you may increase
may I be a transparent vessel
of your life giving light
filling the world with love
amen
~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Reflection:
In what area of your life is God inviting you to let go of your own will so that His light and love may shine more fully through you?

Scripture:
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30
