Often times when we encounter problems, we ask God why it happened. We throw Him questions like, “Why is my life like this?”… “Why is my family broken?”… “Why did you make me with this body instead of that one?”… “Why are so many people dying of starvation?” — yet again we forget that He is God. He is all powerful and He is the answer to all these questions. Instead of asking God all these questions, why don’t we ask ourselves, “What have we done to fix these?”…”What have we done to make our lives better?”… “What have we done to unite our families?”…”What have we done to allow others to see us as children of God?”…”What have we done to help feed the needy?”– What have we done? What have I done? What have you done?
Father,
I abandon myself into Your Hands;
do with me what You will.
Whatever You may do, I thank You:
I am ready for all. I accept all.
Let only Your Will be done in me,
and in all your creatures –
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into Your Hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to You
with all the love of my heart,
for I love You, Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself,
into Your Hands,
without reserve,
and with boundless confidence,
for You are my Father. Amen.
