Give me the grace

Give me the grace to understand.

Give me the grace to believe in your might. 

Give me the grace to hope in your promise.

Give me the grace to lose myself.

Give me the grace to love and accept your will.

Give me the grace to believe that I am nothing without you.

Give me the grace to fight and conquer the forces of evil. 

Give me the grace to stand firm and remain in your love.

Give me the grace to erase the pasts.

Give me the grace to write down and start my life's journey once again.

Give me the grace to accept that I am the cross for other's sanctity. 

Give me the grace that I need them because they are Your wonderful gift of love for me.

Give me the grace to know your wisdom in those ahead of me, to accept corrections,

persecutions, to accept temptations and help me overcome it with love, joy and peace.

Give the grace to persevere in prayer.

For it is only in prayer that I may become humble to see your loving hands.

Give me the grace to accept my limitations because I cannot do anything unless I have a God who holds my life, who moulds my being and made me become whole and worthy to be called the child of the Most High.

Give me the grace to persevere in faith and to stand by it amidst all life's struggles and difficulties.

Give me the grace to be patient with myself. 

Especially for the times that I wanted to make a change and I am very much slow and rebellious. For this I am sure that in your loving patience with me I may accept and understand that you are one who stood before me, who accepts me against all odds, and who is always there beside me when everybody turns their back away from me. 

Help me my Lord to be loving most especially to myself when I reach the point of becoming impatient.
