The Cry of a Desperate Soul

Came across this prayer last night while reading a book. It comes from the Southwell Litany for the Personal Life. It's an amazing prayer... The cry of a soul seeking to serve the Lord consistently, wholeheartedly, and with a purpose, may this be also my prayer and pursuit during this season of my life, and the more to come!

" From moral weakness of spirit; from timidity; from hesitation; from fear
of men and dread of responsability,
strengthen us with courage to speak the
truth in love and self-control
; and alike from the wekness of hasty violence and
weakness of moral cowardice,
save us and help us, we humbly beseeck Thee, O Lord.
From weakness of judgement;
from the indecision that can make no choice;
from the irresolution that carries no choice into act
; and from losing
opportunities to serve Thee,
Save us and help us, we humbly beseech Thee, O Lord. "

(Cincinnati: Foward Movement Publications)
