Dear God, I Ask........

.....that I may have the COURAGE to do what is hard, courage to hold off the quitter in me;
	courage to stand by my convictions.

.....that I may have the gift of WISDOM.  knowing the true value of material things.  May I
	never choose a creature, object or pleasure in preference to You.  May I have a true sense
	of values knowing what to fight for and what to ignore.

.....that I may have a wholesome ATTITUDE in life.  Let me see that my mistakes, set-backs, and
	disappointments can be turned to my advantage if I have the right outlook.

.....that I may ACT towrads others, not just react.  Instead of returning unkindness for
	unkindess, let me be the master of the situation and act as I should, no matter how others
	treat me.

.....that I may RESPECT others.  I know my own importance, but never let me loose sight of the
	importance of others.  Let my consideration for family and friends overcome my own selfish
	intersts

.....that I may have PEACE OF MIND knowing that I am trying to be my best self.  By your grace
	may no one be cheapened because he kept my company.  May I always strive to bring out the
	best in others.

.....that I may take a few minutes EACH DAY to think about these things.
