pockets of hope.

[Lord, give me the courage to look at myself,
the honesty to admit my faults and limitations,
the sincerity to try self-improvement,
and the love for You that will keep me at it for the rest of my life.
Let me not be concerned about matters that are beyond my control,
except to petition Your help.
For the rest, let me really live the words:
"Thy will be done."
Amen.]

-prayer from my daily bread.
