Father,
Save me from the desire to
Strive, become, do, and busy myself.
Save me from the need to
Know, understand, grapple and ascertain your plan for me.
Rescue me from the sin that so easily entangles, and
release me into your grace.
For if need be, I would rather be than do,
And if need be, I would rather stay than go
If that is what it takes to know and follow you.

Beautiful. My prayer as well. Hmmmm, your new blog look is the blue version of mine. Cool!
"...rather be than do"
Um...yikes! That one is tough my friend. I stand with your prayer and embrace it for myself as well.
