PRAYERS

I asked for strength
and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom
and God gave me problems to learn to solve.
I asked for prosperity
and God gave me a brain and brawn to work.
I asked for courage
and God gave me dangers to overcome.
I asked for love
and God gave me people to help.
I received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed.

Beyond the Ordinary
God calls you to grow and live
Yet not by mortal powers,
but those He can give.

And He beckons you to follow Him
on paths you may not know,
With the promise He'll be with you
every step you're called to go.

Selinda Smith

Dear Lord,
Sometimes it seems that
no matter how hard we try,
we fail.

We struggle to do our best,
and life slaps us in the face.

We remember that the standards
by which we judge ourselves
and others may not be your standards.

So we give thanks to You.
We thank you because our failures are forgiven.

And we thank You for
bringing love into a world
filled with revenge.

We also remember those
whom society labels as failures -
those who are unemployed
those who are hungry
those who are homeless.

Give us the love and wisdom
to be able to truly distinguish
between success and failure;
in Jesus' name we pray.
