My daily prayer...
To the powers in the universe greater than myself...
Help me to keep an open mind, to be flexible with what life brings so that I may see the opportunities along life's path, to let go and let the unplanned unfold with its untold possibilities for self-realization and growth.
Help me enjoy each day [I say "this day"] with a measure of comfort, serenity, and a sense of achievement.
Help me to live with gratitude for what I have, rather than yearning for what I don't have, so that in each day [or this day] I may find contentment.
Help me to keep the focus on myself, to know that focusing on anything else keeps me in denial and doesn't allow others the same dignity and respect I want myself.
Help me to find the willingness to make amends and to take a personal inventory on a daily basis so that I may live without the burden of resentment and guilt that keeps me from living with joy and serenity.
Help me to understand and accept, as these are the keys to my serenity.
I open myself to a Power greater than myself.
