Sometimes we stumble and fall short of His glory...

Lord, I ask for guidance,
as I stumble to accept the misfortunes in my life.
Allow me to realize these peak and valleys were my burdens.
Let me identify these were my own blunders and not yours.

Permit me to be grateful for the lessons I've learned.
Teach me to find the correct way in areas I've failed.
Let me reach out to others who stumble and feel like a failure.
Provide me the words needed to ease their fears and pains.

Teach me to use Your gifts to the maximum.
Allow me to boost my knowledge and my spirit.
Use me to pen Your words to unlock sealed minds.
Keep Your spirit intense within my being for others to know.

Open Your Almighty Wings for me to seek shelter.
Feed my soul with Your spirit of faith, hope and love, and...
if I stumble, grant me the strength to thrust forward...
never to permit the evil one to take rule over my life.

Keep Your eyes on my energy to achieve Your will and,
grant me the power and the ability to please You.
Make certain I never falter and leave another offended.
Use me as forceful waters flowing throughout the world.

Amen
