Another Prayer for Strength

It wasn’t until I was crushed in the midst of despair that Iknew how sweet your comfort was and how warm your embrace. It wasn’t until my heart broke in agony that Iknew how strong I was in you. But now I know and thisknowledge makes my heart soar.

I also know that my tears burn you and my pain makesyou cry, because you want the best for me. You made me for victory, not for failure. And your victory is love. Through love, you hold me tight and warm me and fill my heart with joy.

Give me strength in the knowledge that with you I can move mountains. Give me strength in the belief that your love is stronger than anything. Evil stands no chance against a force so great and wonderful.

Give me strength in the knowledge that you are alwayswith me, that I’ll never go through life alone. Give me wisdom to know you and to seek you ever more.

Give me strength in the certainty that, even when the clouds seem overwhelming, the sun is not too far awayand the storm will soon be over.

Give me strength in the faith that your hand keeps mycandle burning, so that no wind can blow it out. As long as the candle is burning, my eyes can find the way and Ican’t get lost.

Amen
