For this month, the selected prayer is actually a hymn by Frances Ridley Havergal. But it can very easily be learned and said as a prayer, without any need of knowing the tune! The message contained in its beautiful verses reminds us that all we have is devoted to the Lord, including our minds and thoughts and knowledge.

PRAYER

Dear Lord,

Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.

Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of thy love.

Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee.

Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.

Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee.

Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

Amen
