Prayer

Prayer

By Deanne JensenPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Vanish all the gloom and darkness of worry and fear.

May I neither gloat over yesterday's successes nor be grim over yesterday's defeats.

Help me make a fresh start and give myself fully to the challenges and opportunities of this day.

Grant me a vibrant enthusiasm so that I can accept each responsibility with affirmation.

Life is an accumulation of days lived fully or wasted on anxious care.

Fill my mind with Spirit so that I can think creatively; transform my attitudes so I may reflect patience and peace; brighten my countenance so that I will radiate joy; infuse strength into my body so that I will have resiliency for the pressures of whatever the day will bring.

Look ahead with anticipation to the opportunities of today.

About the Creator

Deanne Jensen

I love to write. The one thing I don't like writing about is myself, ironic because that seems to be the one thing I do write about. I'm 53 and married for last time. I walk for stress release. I love Matchbox 20 the music fits me.
