My prayer for 2012

Give me discernment

To know the truth from the lie

Grant me the words and the boldness

To speak out the truth in love

Give me diligence

To do what I must

I don’t want to waste my time

Chasing after what will not last

Give me rest

A heart that is calm

In the midst of every turbulence

A quiet mind that finds peace in you

Give me empathy

To feel the pain of others

And complain less about my discomforts

Let me feel your heart beat

Give me hope

That all is not lost

That the world still has a future

Because you are Lord of all creation
