Prayer

I have printed this prayer up in our bathroom for the last few months and I read it every morning and evening when getting ready for the day or getting ready for bed. It's from my prayer book by Richard Foster, and I wanted to share it with you.

a formation prayer

O Lord, my God. Form me more fully into your likeness. Use the circumstances and interactions of this day to form your will in me.

From the frustrations of this day form peace.

From the joys of this day form strength.

From the struggles of this day form courage.

From the beauties of this day form love.

In the name of Jesus Christ who is all peace and strength and courage and love.

Amen
