My Prayer

God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change The courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference... The audacity to believe in your miracles The strength to go on after I've been broken The compassion to forgive my brother who has offended me The maturity to disregard the opposers Who constantly try to bring me down But will never succeed. The faith to see you in the midst Of my trials and pain You are bigger than my circumstances You are limitless. The vision renewed and restored The desires of my heart According to your will The ability to see me as you do A child of God who is in this world but not of it. The ability to love even my enemies As you did without a second thought The power to speak life In all things and be a light in this world. and finally... God grant me The freedom to worship As I was created in your image to do Amen.
