(Borrowed from the Submission Meditation) - Jesus, please allow your blood to infuse this body with light, love, and compassion. Grow your seed of faith in me such that I trust you to let your blood define, enlighten, and fill my heart and mind. May the activity of my life be the activity of Your Life because your kingdom has displaced the shadows of self-possession and pride in my old heart with service and humility. May the fruit of this new heart in you be blood spilled from your free will which
burns freely in me and
gives freely from me
in spite of me.
I like the "in spite of me" at the end there. As if it is to say that even though I cannot do this at all, it is with God that His glory is given through me.
