Dear Lord,
Give me a pure heart and a wise mind, that I may carry out my work according to your will. Save me from all false deires, from pride, greed, envy and anger, and let me accept joyfully every task you set before me. Let me seek to serve the poor, the sad and those unable to work. Help me to discern honestly my own gifts that I may do the things of which I am capable, and hppily and humbly leave the rest to others. Above all, remind me constantly that I have nothing except what you give me, and can do nothing except what you enable me to do.
~Jacob Boehme (1575 - 1624), shoemaker and mystic
Sorry for copying others' work as mine. I really like this prayer!!!! I just can't leave my eyes off the paragraph. I am having a BIG BATTLE inside me to fight over what is right and what is wrong. Why Do I need to worry that much? Being Silly...
