Holy Spirit,
let me hold
no separate identity
apart from you.
Let me see all ideas,
all thoughts,
that tell me I exist
as a being apart,
and let me surrender those thoughts
into the dust of nothingness
from which they came.
As I surrender my thoughts,
I surrender my heart too.
But I surrender my heart,
not to nothingingness,
but to everything
and only-thing,
which is to surrender to You.
Make of me a slave,
moved only by You
through my desire
to have no semblance
of my own identity,
an identity I would call mine.
Make my identity
ours,
one and the same.
Amen.
~A prayer of awakening
