A Simple Prayer














Let me use disappointment as material for patience
Let me use success as a material for thankfulness
Let me use trouble as a material for perseverance
Let me use danger as a material for courage
Let me use reproach as a material for long suffering
Let me use praise as a material for humility
Let me use pleasures as a material for temperance
Let me use pain as a material for endurance

(John Baillie)
