“I firmly believe”

Eduard Müller's prayer in his New Testament

With your strength, my Lord and Saviour, I  take upon myself the load which God has chosen for me. Together with You I look to the Father in Heaven: Your will be done. Your will be done in me and by me – I firmly believe that all comes from your love. I believe that sorrow and hardship will lead me on High. Jesus Christ, be with me! You have taken up your cross. You know how hard it is to bear one’s cross. My heart is ready, O God, I am ready. Give me your strength to overcome and cope. Amen!
