New Years Eve - Thought, Dreams and Prayers
Hi Everyone @Dimity @TAB
I won’t be celebrating the new year. Haven’t for a long time.
But wondered whether anyone had any thoughts, dreams or prayers as we move into the count-down….?
Heres a prayer I read every day for my first few years after leaving rehab for alcohol and then onto stabilising for bipolar…
Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace:
that where there is hatred, I may bring love;
that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;
that where there is error, I may bring truth;
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;
that where there is despair, I may bring hope;
that where there are shadows, I may bring light;
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather
to comfort than to be comforted;
to understand than be understood;
to love than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
Amen.
Thinking of you all…
