A Simple Prayer                

My Sweet Lord who stands by me in every moment, to you I speak...Give me the wisdom to know and believe that whatever I fear so much is in reality my weakness in loving myself and honoring You fully and completely within me....before I tear, give me the grace to remember to smile...before I run here and there to receive and keep, let me stand still and offer instead whatever I have to Thee...before I complain....before I ask for what You have already given, let me be grateful and pend moments of restlessness in prayer and in praise of Your grace....before I begin to depend on someone or something, let me follow Your ways....cherish Your love, and play with sincerity Your game of love...and if I become weak even for a moment, let me remember that I am a part of you who holds within my soul the breath of God...Your breath, O Lord, that fills me with the goodness of pure love that I have come to live...
