Prayer Quotes by Jacob Boehme

Give me, dear Lord, a pure heart

and a wise mind, that I may

carry out my work according to your will.

Save me from all false desires, from pride,

greed, envy and anger, and let me

accept joyfully every task you set before me.

Let me seek to serve the poor, the sad and those

unable to work. Help me to discern honestly

my own gifts that I may do the things

of which I am capable, and happily

and humbly leave the rest to others.

Above all, remind me constantly that

I have nothing except what you give me,

and can do nothing except

what you enable me to do.
