- Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may rest and abide in the presence of the unseen God. I
pray that I may leave my burdens in His care. - We are taught to differentiate between our wants (which are never satisfied) and our needs (which are always provided for).

We are granted “the serenity to accept the things we cannot change”–and thus lose our quickness to anger and our sensitivity to criticism.
