Prayer for May

 

Father, we are where we are

Wrapped in circumstances, some of which is chosen, some not

Help us

• to enjoy where we are and what we have

• to improve what we have

and

• bear without complaint what we find irksome.

Help us

• fashion a good life for ourselves and those who travel with us.

• steel our hearts against fear and despair

and

• give us joy in trusting.

 

Strengthen those whose struggle today is particularly fierce.

Help us to make our way without moaning or self-seeking - and stick to what we know to be good and right.

• When we stray call us back,

• when we fall pick us up,

• when we are weak and tired, support us.

 

And give us a steady joy through all our days.
