Teach Me,

Teach Me, O God...

... to use all the circumstances of my life

today to bring forth fruits of holiness.

Let me use disappointments as material for patience.

Let me use success as material for thankfulness.

Let me use stress as material for perseverance.

Let me use danger as material for courage.

Let me use reproach as material for long-suffering.

Let me use praise as material for humility.

Let me use pleasure as material for temperance.

Let me use pain as material for endurance

"So teach us to number our days, that we may

apply our hearts unto wisdom." Psalm 90:12
