DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER
Today’s
prayer was written by an École St. Mary High School student.
Dear
Lord,
I’d
like to pray for the strength to handle bad
situations, mistakes, and loss,
and
for what we can and what we cannot control.
Sometimes
bad things happen out of nowhere and
it can be overwhelming,
and we
lose sight of what’s right and what’s wrong.
Please
Lord, give us the strength and ability to cope with the bad,
and
the knowledge and experience
to help others through their tough times.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
