Prayer of Sadhu Sundar Singh

My Lord God, my all in all, life of my life and spirit of my spirit, look in mercy upon me and so fill me with Your Holy Spirit that my heart shall have no room for love of anything else but You. I seek from You no other gift but Yourself, who are the giver of life and all its blessings. From You I ask not for the world or its treasures, not yet for heaven even make request, but You alone do I desire and long for, and where You are, there is heaven. The hunger and thirst of this heart of mine can be satisfied only with You who has given it birth.

O Creator of mine: You have created my heart for Yourself and not for another, therefore this my heart can find no rest or ease save in You, in You who has both created it and set in it this very longing for rest. Take away then from my heart all that is opposed to You and enter and abide and rule forever, Amen.
