YOUR WILL, NOT MINE, BE DONE (by Bill Zimmerman), the prayer (invocation) written for the opening of the 5th World Lit Conference in 1981 for our Basic Text...
We of this committee, humbly pray that we through the hand of faith, be gently guided to do your will.
Too often, because we’re human, we forget that we are Your servants- You are not ours.
At times we bury ourselves so deeply inside our own egos, that we lose sight of the real reason we’re here.
It is only by putting aside our earthly wants that we may find our Godly needs.
Glowing spirituality is the only light that will lead us down the path of our true purpose.
So as we do His work, we must not fail to remember,
“YOUR WILL, NOT MINE, BE DONE.” - Bill Z. (Maryland)
