Pray For Peace In Your Life
It's been a little while. I've been slacking, but for a good reason. I've been working on a project for work and my little man is now playing football. (I promise you that I had no idea how time-consuming football could be!) Anyway, trying to juggle home, work, school, football, a relationship and everything else life throws my way is extremely difficult.
There is one part of my life that I'm having much more difficulty in handling than others. I'm soooo unhappy with this one area and it's spilling over into other parts of my life. I'm praying that I can get it under control because I'm miserable.
The only thing left is to pray for peace. It was ironic that the quote for peace was sent to me this morning because I really needed it. That immediately brought the Serenity Prayer to mind. I have it right next to my bed so I am able to see it when I wake up. So my motivation for today is the Serenity Prayer.
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
