Don\u2019t give me perfection, O God, gift me instead with the imperfect.
So that from the flawed and the broken, I may learn to seek your healing love.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t give me calm, O Lord, gift me instead with chaos.
So that in the midst of tumult, I may learn to seek your peace.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t give me certainty, O God, gift me instead with confusion.
So that in my uncertainty, I may learn to rely upon your wisdom.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t give me wealth, O Lord, gift me instead with want.
So that in my poverty, I may learn to rely upon you to sustain us.<\/p>\n
Do not give me family, O God, but make of me an orphan.
So that in my loneliness, I may learn to turn to You for comfort.<\/p>\n
Do not give me strength, O Lord, but make me weak.
So that in my powerlessness, I may learn to rely upon your might.<\/p>\n
Thank you, O Mighty One, for hearing my prayer in this season of heartbreak.\u00a0 I know it is only your strength and your wisdom and your courage which carry me from day to day.\u00a0 Thank you for the gift of faith and a calm heart, so that I may rest in You to find respite from the storm.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
