When fears and worries overwhelm
then give me courage, Lord,
- to "keep it in today..."
When darkness tempts and beckons me
then draw me to the light.
- and let your face shine bright upon me...
When easy answers seem enough
then lead me to your word
- that in your truth I'll be set free...
When angry grudges weigh me down
then teach me to forgive
- as you have pardoned me...
When gossip's brewing in my thoughts
then bless my speech with kindness,
- put your word upon my lips...
When my heart grows green with envy
let me see how much is mine
- in the bounty of my blessings...
When discerning right from wrong
I pray you give me wisdom, Lord,
- to choose what you would do...
When all I have is time for me
then open wide my heart, Lord
- to serve my neighbors' needs...
When I find no words for prayer
then help me listen, Lord, to you
- for all that you might say to me...
please let all I say and all I do
