Strength for the Week

Prayers - Daily Prayer

By Sharon Sinclair

strength-for-the-week-prayerAs a new week stretches before me,

I look with wonder into the deep well of emotions

You have given Your children.

I pray that I may withdraw enough compassion

to heal anotherʼs broken heart;

enough peace to quell anotherʼs fear;

enough joy to celebrate anotherʼs victory;

enough strength to share anotherʼs burdens,

and enough faith to light a candle in anotherʼs darkness.

Thank You for the assurance You have been given us

that our well will never run dry.
