My prayer... a work in progress

[SuddenlyISee]

I've been working out my prayer for my beads.... Here is what I've compiled:

Charm


Be Still/Quiet meditation


Warm Up /Cool Down Beads

@ Let my heart be a vessel of Your Love.

@ Let my thoughts be a blossom of Your Love.

@ Let my words be an expression of Your Love.

@ Let my actions be the fulfillment of Your Love.

Large Beads

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.

@ When I am selfish, help me to be generous.
@ When I am greedy, help me to be content.
@ When I am angry, help me to be patient.
@ When I am grouchy, help me to be kind.
@ When I am gossipy, help me to be silent.
@ When I am frightened, help me to be brave.
@ When I am anxious, help me to be wise.
