The saint"s prayer

The almighty God of the universe
Divine is thine name
For the universe is thine abode
And the realms thine foot stool
Our earth thine emanations
And thine kingdom thine glory


I thank thee for yesterday
For it was well spent
I thank thee for today
For am in the present
And I thank thee for tomorrow
For it contains hope


Grant me ability to help
Instead of been helped
I seek to comfort
Instead of been comforted
Help me to give joy
Instead of receiving joy



Let me console
Instead of been consoled
Make me a source of light
Instead of receiver of light
Let me die for
Instead of been died for



To thee belongs the power
And to thee belongs all the glory
For to thee is the divine
So mote it be
Amen!

Very well written. all glory in His name. I thank you for sharing this with us.Just remember what you have asked for you have already recieved, for if your temple was without light than this poem would not have brought light and comfort to others as it has for me.
