Let's Pray

Dear God,
   As  I begin this day my thoughts turn to you
   I ask for your help and guidance in everything I say and do

   Let me live but for today, not worrying what's ahead
   For I have trust that you will see I get my daily bread

   Give me the patience I need to keep and a piece of mind
   And with life's trials and struggles, I have some happiness 
    to find

   Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
   The strength and will to change those that I can change

   Fill me with your Holy Spirit to lead me on the right way
   And in your grace I may flow in everyday

   I've failed you many times but tonight when I rest
   I pray for your forgiveness while I try my best.

                                                                                        Amen.
