Short Prayers

Lord, I am willing
To receive what You give,
To lack what You withhold,
To relinquish what You take,
To suffer what You inflict,
To be what You require,
To do what You send me to do.

Note: A prayer, unknown author, found in the book entitled "Growing Your Faith" by Jerry Bridge.

I believe in the sun, even though it doesn't shine,
I believe in love, even when it isn't shown,
I believe in God, even when he silent.
