As I spend time each day journaling my time with God, I am inspired by the following prayer that is framed on my office wall, as a motivation each morning as I prepare to walk with the King and be a blessing by His grace and power throughout the day.
“Lord, make me an instrument of thy 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;
And 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.”
? St. Francis of Assisi
