Jesus, I have put my hand to the
plow. If I look back,
may it be only to remember your abundant
goodness
and to sing aloud of your righteousness,
not to regret
the loss of things from which you have
called me.
If I look forward, may it be only in
eagerness to plow,
in assurance of the hope I have in you to
the very end.
Lord Jesus, with cords of love bind me to
your
work of plowing, to which you have called
me.
