MY PRAYER (from MARIANIST MISSION)

LORD, THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER DAY
               WITHIN THIS LIFE OF MINE.
GIVE ME THE STRENGH TO LIVE IT WELL,
               WHATEVER I MAY FIND.
BESTOW FROM YOUR ABUNDANCE
               WHATEVER I MAY LACK.
TO USE THE HOURS WISELY,
               FOR I CANNOT HAVE THEM BACK.
LORD, THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER DAY,
               IN WHICH TO MAKE AMENDS
FOR LITTLE SLIGHTS OR PETTY WORDS
               INFLICTED ON MY FRIENDS
FOR SOMETIMES LOSING PATIENCE
               WITH PROBLEMS THAT I FIND.
FOR SEEING FAULTS IN OTHER LIVES,
               BUT NOT THE ONES IN MINE.
LORD, THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER CHANCE,
               IN WHICH TO TRY TO BE
               A LITTLE MORE DESERVING
               OF THE GIFTS YOU'VE GIVEN ME.
FOR YESTERDAY IS OVER,
               AND TOMORROW'S FAR AWAY,
               AND I REMAIN COMMITTED
               TO THE GOOD I DO TODAY!
