A Prayer from the Valley of Vision (Part 3)

O Spirit of God,

Teach me to praise, adore, and magnify You,

with the music of heaven,

And make me a perfume of praise-filled gratitude for You.

I do not crouch at Your feet as a slave before a tyrant,

but exult before You as a son with a father.

Give me power to live as Your child in all my actions,

and to exercise sonship by conquering self.

Lead me safely on to the eternal kingdom,

not asking whether the road be rough or smooth.

I request only to see the face of Him I love,

to be content with bread to eat,

with raiment to put on,

if I can be brought to Your house in peace.
