Abandoning myself to God’s care

Lord, I know I spend too much time contemplating my spiritual progress and not enough time in conversation with you. And yet, I know that the only way to progress is to truly abandon myself to you. Sometimes it is as if I am standing in the way of my own development. Teach me to look within myself with thoughtful reflection, while always keeping my heart focused on you and your love for me. Remind me that should I go astray, you will always lead me back to the right path—as long as I am keeping my focus on you. Calm my unnecessary fears and bless me with the true interior peace that comes with complete abandonment to your Will.
