prayer of thanks

[ here ]

"Lord, we give You thanks for all that You in Your 
mercy have given us to be and to do and to have. 
Deliver us, Lord, from all greed to be and to do 
and to have anything not in accord with Your purposes. 
Teach us to rest quietly in Your promises to supply, 
recognizing that if we don't have it we don't need it. 
Teach us to  d e s i r e  Your will 
-- nothing more, and nothing less. 
For Jesus' sake. Amen"

Elisabeth Elliot, "Keep a Quiet Heart"
