A Prayer Reflection Rediscovered

I found this prayer hiding in my unpublished drafts. It sounds like me, but I don't remember composing it! If anyone can find out who wrote it originally do let me know. In the meantime, I invite you to share in this prayer.

Lord
I place myself in Your presence
After the strain and turmoil of the day
I rest quietly here, as a little boat
which has been tossed by the waves
and buffetted by the wind
rests secure in a sheltered harbour.
Here my projects lose their power over me
A healing process begins
My fragmented self is reassembled
and I am made whole again.
In Your presence, I experience my true worth
which consists not in doing but in being.
I surrender myself into Your hands.
I am at peace
