Serenity

Lord, I ask You to quieten my mind.
Removing all of the periphery noise.
Yours, O Lord, is the voice that I seek.
I close my eyes, and focus on breathing.
You, O Lord, are the air that I breathe.
I still my body, and I relax my hands.
You, O Lord are why I raise my hands.
I think on Your word, and I remember.
You, Lord bring needed words to mind.
I praise You, telling of Your goodness.
You, Lord have been gracious unto me.
May the goodness of others shine through.
That they might be an example unto me.
I thank You, Lord for all of my blessings.
You have blessed me far beyond measure.
Touch my heart with the needs of others.
That I might go from here to serve Thee.

Amen

‘SERENITY ~ NOW! Next time you feel like screaming say a little prayer. Researchers
at Ohio State University gave college students negative feedback and found those who prayed afterward let go of the grudge they had been holding. “Prayer makes us more likely to give people the benefit of the doubt.” says Professor Brad Bushman, co-author of the study.’
