A QUOTE, A TEXT AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
A QUOTE
O Lord give me the sincerity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr 1892 – 1971
A TEXT
Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7
Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:32-34
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Lord, when I am feeling tired or strained, help me not to take it out on other people. Amen.
Father, make us more like Jesus. Help us to bear difficulty, pain, disappointment and sorrows, knowing that in your perfect working and design you can use such bitter experiences to shape our characters and make us more like our Lord. We look with hope for that day when we shall be wholly like Christ, because we shall see him as he is. Amen. St Ignatius, before his martyrdom in 107
