I found this beautiful prayer in a prayer book Andrew showed me, and it so completely captured my ongoing prayer.
Prayer of Abandonment
by Charles de Foucauld
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; Do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you;
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me and in all your creatures. I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul:
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands without reserve and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.
