A Prayer for the Journey
My friend Kellie sent this to me this week. I immediately copied it to a notecard to be hung in my kitchen, but the card never made it there. Instead I’ve carried it with me. Each and every day since I’ve encountered someone who needed to hear it. I pray it will encourage each of you as well.
O Christ, do not give me tasks equal to my powers,
but give me powers equal to my tasks,
for I want to be stretched by things too great for me.
I want to grow through the greatness of my task,
but I shall need your help for the growing.

It does!
I;m with you! I have it copied on several cards. There’s one on my bible, one on my computer, night stand, kitchen counter and in the bathroom!
I’m hoping that soon it will just be a part of my memory!
