Prayer

Spirit of God, grant me: 

The gift of wisdom to see the world through your eyes, 

The gift of counsel to make difficult decisions, 

The gifts of knowledge and understanding 

To use my mind to know you and to love you, 

The gift of fortitude to have the courage to live in the faith 

Despite the difficulties and disappointments, 

The gift of piety to be able to express my special love 

And commitment to you, 

And the right kind of awesome fear 

That makes me pause to wonder and revere God’s Love. 

Amen
