DEAR GOD, I ASK…
…that I may have the COURAGE to do what is hard; courage to hold off the quitter in me, courage to stand by my convictions.
…that I may have the gift of WISDOM, knowing the true value of material things. May I never choose a creature, object or pleasure in preference to You. May I have a true sense of values knowing what to fight for and what to ignore.
…that I may have a wholesome ATTITUDE in life. Let me see that my mistakes, set-backs, and disappointments can be turned to my advantage if I have the right outlook.
…that I may ACT towards others, not just react. Instead of returning unkindness for unkindness, let me be the master of the situation and act as I should, no matter how others treat me.
…that I may RESPECT others. I know my own importance, but never let me lose sight of the importance of others. Let my consideration for family and friends overcome my own selfish interests.
…that I may be PEACE OF MIND know that that I AM TRYING TO BE BEST SELF. By your grace may none be cheapened because he kept my company. May I always strive to bring out the best in others.
…that I may take a few minutes EACH DAY to think about these things.

Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered. LOVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. DO GOOD ANYWAY.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. SUCCEED ANYWAY.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. DO GOOD ANYWAY.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. THINK BIG ANYWAY.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. FIGHT FOR SOME UNDERDOGS ANYWAY.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. BUILD ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.

YOU RAISE ME UP...by Josh Groban

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Music:

Slow Me Down, Lord
Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the, the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the shining streams that live in my memory. Help me to know that magical restoring power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minutes vacations – of slowing down to look a t a flower to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines from a good book.
Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and tortoise, that I may know that the race is not always to the swift – that there is more to life than increasing its speed.
Let me look upward into the branches of the towering oak and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well.

Books:

God grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can
and wisdom to know the difference
—living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships as the pathway
to peace; taking as He did, this
world as it is,not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things
right if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this
life and supremely happy with Him forever.

Heroes:

Jesus for giving me the strength to stay sober and start a new life.
