Lord,
if Your people still have need of my services,
I will not avoid the toil.
Your will be done.
Indeed, I have fought the good fight long enough.
Yet if You bid me continue to hold the battle line
in defense of Your camp,
I will never beg to be excused
on account of failing strength.
I will diligently perform the tasks
that You entrust to me.
And as long as You command
I will continue to do battle under Your banner.
Amen
- -- Saint Martin of Tours his prayer to continue the fight for God
