πŸ•ŠοΈ The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Prayer of Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

πŸ™ I Said a Prayer for You Today

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
Although He spoke no word,
I didn’t ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn’t mind.

I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He’d be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share the way.

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was His loving care
I prayed the most of all.

Amen.

Blessed are you who can laugh at yourselves:
you will have no end of fun.

Blessed are you who can tell a mountain from a molehill:
you will be saved a lot of bother.

Blessed are you who know how to relax without looking for excuses:
you are on the way to becoming wise.

Blessed are you who know when to be quiet and listen:
you will learn a lot of new things.

Blessed are you who are sane enough not to take yourselves too seriously:
you will be valued by those around you.

Blessed are you if you take small things seriously and face serious things calmly:
you will go far in life.

Blessed are you if you can appreciate a smile and forget a frown:
you will walk on the sunny side of the street.

Blessed are you who think before acting and pray before thinking:
you will avoid many blunders.

Above All

Blessed are you who recognise the Lord in all whom you meet.
The light of truth shines in your life, for you have found true wisdom.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of this new Sunday and the blessing of life.

As I rest in Your presence today, I surrender all my worries, fears, and past mistakes.

Fill my heart with Your deep peace and clear my mind of any anxiety about the week ahead.

Go before me, Lord, and prepare my path. Grant me the wisdom, strength, and courage to handle whatever challenges come my way.

Protect my family, friends, and loved ones, and pour Your favour upon our lives.

Let my words and actions today reflect Your goodness and love.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
