A Prayer of Johann Arndt . 

 

God be our everything


Johann_Arndt

Be our Joy and Hope, our Strength and Life,
our Shield and Shepherd, our Portion forever.

For happy are we if we continue in the love in which loved us;
holy are we when we love you unwaveringly.

Therefore, you whose name and essence is love,
enkindle our hearts, enlighten our understandings,
sanctify our wills, and fill all the thoughts of our hearts;
for Jesus Christ’s sake.
Amen. 

Johann Arndt (1555–1621)
