Dear God let me reach out to someone in need,
Even though I see that my boat has also sprung a leak,
Let me be of use before my own candle burns out,
Help me to give solace to those that are without…
You have helped me to pick myself up from the doldrums of despair,
And gave me comfort that I could be someone’s angel out there.
Lord give me the strength to reignite,
The withering spark of light deep inside.
Give me the strength to reach out and do my best,
Let me touch a life meaningfully today before I rest.
Even though my own spirit is weak,
Strengthen my resolve to help those whose prospects are bleak.
If a loaf of bread is all that I can give,
Let it be appreciated and well-received.
I don’t ask for much only that you help me keep my faith,
Faith as small as a mustard seed, for now, it is all that it will take.
I trust in you to help me persevere when my own light burns low,
To continue to bring me hope for a better tomorrow.
Give me the courage to walk bravely this uncertain path with thee,
To give selflessly, temporary relief from my own anxiety,
Help me to touch the lives of others with humility and grace,
And sleep peacefully each night trusting your greater plan is in place
