Rodger Anderson shared this prayer with me on the back of an envelope a couple of weeks ago. I've been using it each day, as I continue to try and find peace and balance after losing dad. As Rodge says, you can go pretty deep in a lot of directions with this prayer. I think he is right!
It goes like this:
- Forgive me Lord for the things I have done wrong and for the things that I failed to do that I should have done.
- Heal me Lord - my mind, my body, and my soul (spirit).
- Strengthen my faith each day.
- Make me not afraid.
- Have mercy on me and others.
Love,
Dad
