My Lord and my God, be thou today at the helm of this little boat that is Me, setting sail from today’s dawn to today’s dusk. My Lord and my God, remove me from the rudder of this boat, as I have neither the navi gating skills, nor the sense of direction, nor the capacity to see beyond my nose, and install therein your own Good Self, your own powerful self, your own all-knowing self who alone, not only controls with authority the an gry seas, the roaring winds and the dashing waves but also calms and guides them in the right direction, be thou alone the captain of this feather boat which is Me and steer it safe and sound from this shore called the ‘dawn’ to the other shore called the ‘dusk’ through the rough and tumultuous deep sea called ‘today’. But, my Lord and my God, in case between this shore and the other, if it pleases you to call me to yourself, enable me O Lord today to joyfully bid adieu to my life-liner and to fly into your bosom, like a carefree skylark. But again, my Lord and my God, if your plans for me today happen to be different; if I am to carry on in my life-raft, then enable me today to say, ‘I live today, but not I but Christ lives in me’. Amen.
