YOU ARE THE ONE
Vocation Prayer
O Lord, I praise you, I adore you, I glorify your name. I am here before you in awe and reverence, and I place myself in your outstretched arms. Help me realize that you have a plan for me, a plan that is personal, unique and given to me with your deep abounding love.
Help me realize that I Am The One you have chosen. Help me come to know the journey you have set for me. Guide me as I seek to discover your Will! Please give me the voice to say yes to you alone.
You know me, you love me, you choose me! What a gift! What great joy!
I want to accept your invitation! I want to follow your Will for me!
In my doubt, give me courage!
In my fear, give me strength!
In my confusion, set me on a clear path!
You KNOW me! I dwell now in that knowledge and follow you!
Amen
(Father John Henderson)
