PRAYER
Lord, grant me the courage to change the parameters
and paradigm of my life. Bless me with discernment
that I may know those things I can change and those
things I cannot change. Help me to look beyond age
and physical health. Grant me imagination that I
might envision what does not exist. Where my goals
are limited, grant me vision. When I am depressed,
grant me hope. Where I am lonely, give me meaningful
companionship. Even when the way forward seems
cloudy and uncertain, grant me your peace that
passes all understanding. Help me to see myself: not
as I am, but what I can be; not for what I was, but
what I choose to be; not for what others want me to
be, but what it is you want me to be.
Bless me now with the power to redefine the
parameters and paradigm of my life. Make me patient.
Make me kind. Make me powerful. Make me gentle. Make
me loving. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray.
Amen.
