Prayer for today

Lord, help me to be strong
To face whatever difficulties, come along
Let me be of help, to someone else,
Instead of thinking about my self

Let me be free of anger, and of resentment
Let me find some peace, and some contentment
Let me not always be self-centered
And, yet make the journey inward

Lord, you know my heart and my soul
You're the only one who can make me whole
Through you I can try to do my very best
Not comparing myself to all the rest

You gave me everything I need to get by
You said only once would I have to die
I must be reborn, if I'm to live like you
It's not so much what I think, but what I do

Come into this vessel, oh Holy Spirit
I know the word, now I want to live it
I want to know, what is your will for me
So I won't repeat my history
