Daily Prayer

Dear God, as I begin this day

Let me turn my thoughts to you,

And ask your help in guiding me

In everything I say and do.

Give me the patience that I need

To keep my peace of mind,

And with life's cares,

I hope Dear God,

Some happiness to find.

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 courage to face life's trials

And not from troubles run,

Let me keep this thought in mind,

Thy will, not mine be done.

And if some wish I do not get

Though I prayed to Thee,

Help me to believe and understand

You know what's best for me .

I've failed you many times I know,

But when tonight I rest,

I hope that I can kneel and say ,

"Dear God, I tried my best."
