Dear God, as I begin this day Let me turn my thoughts to you, and ask your help in guding me in everything I say and do, Give me the patience that I need to keep my peace of mind, and with life's care, I hope, Dear God, some happiness to find. Let me live but for today, not worrying what's ahead for I have trust that you will see I get my "daily Bread". Give me the courage to face life's trails and not from troubles run, Let me keep this thought in mind, "Thy will" not "mine", be done. And if some wish I do not get though I have prayed to Thee, Help me to believe and understand you know what's best for me. I've failed you many times, I know, But when tonight I rest, I hope that I can kneel and say, "Dear God, I 've tried my best" Amen
