LET ME USE ~~

Every morning with a cup of coffee I read this Diary of Private Prayer as I sit on our Tree House balcony.  In the quiet of the morning, and the soft breeze in the air, God always speaks to me through these old English style prayers.  Today I want to remember how to use each of these circumstance we face on a regular basis.

"Teach me, O God, so to use all the circumstances of my life today that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sins.

Let me use disappointment as material for patience:

Let me use success as material for thankfulness:

Let me use suspense as material for perseverance:

Let me use danger as material for courage:

Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering:

Let me use praise as material for humility:

Let me use pleasure as material for temperance:

Let me use pains as material for endurance."

Amen.
