Like everyone else, Lord:
I just wanna to be happy...
And like everyone else:
I know there are things
I think will make me happy
and things
I wish would make me happy,
and things that promise I'll be happy
- but leave me feeling not very happy at all...
And like everyone else, Lord:
I know the things
that do make me truly happy,
and I know the people
who lift my heart and spirits,
and I know the times and places
where I spend my happiest days...
I know that being happy comes
from seeking true and real and good,
that being truly happy
is a gift no money can buy,
and that being happy has much more to do
with having less than having more...
Give me the strength to sacrifice and work
for peace that settles deep within my soul...
Help me make choices and decisions
leading to contentment, serenity and joy...
Help me let go my fears and worries, Lord,
and lift my heart to faith and trust in you...
Open my eyes to see what makes me happy
and to know what never will:
help me understand the difference
and to walk on wisdom's path...
And remind me, Lord, today and every day:
I won't be truly happy
'til I find my joy in you...
Amen.
