God, this day and those that follow, gift me:

.

– the strength to help all, friend or foe
– the strength to love all, animate and inanimate
– the strength to smile, even in adversity
– the strength to speak the truth, always
– the strength to be free of cravings, including Life
– the strength to happily give away all that I think I have
– the strength to follow your will, come what may
– the strength to be you

.

Whenever I bow to whatever you might call God, I use the above lines one way or the other, in part or full. 

What is your prayer?
