A Prayer of Martin Luther

Beyond, Lord, an empty vessel that needs to be filled.
My Lord, fill it.
I am weak in the faith; strengthen thou me.
I am cold in love; warm me and make me fervent that my love may go out to my neighbour.
I do not have a strong and firm faith; at times I doubt and am unable to trust thee altogether.
O Lord, help me. Strengthen my faith and trust in thee.
In thee I have sealed the treasures of all I have.
I am poor; thou art rich and didst come to be merciful to the poor.
I am a sinner; thou art upright.
With me there is an abundance of sin; in thee is the fullness of righteousness.
Therefore, I will remain with thee of whom I can receive but to whom I may not give.
Amen.
