Dear Father, make me the human channel, so far as in me lies, through which Thy divine love and pity may reach the hearts and lives of a few of those who are nearest to me.  (John Baillie, A Diary of Daily Prayer, 10th night)

Even when I am afraid, I keep on trusting You.  (Psalm 56)

God, make me grateful for all the good things I have been taking for granted.  (One Day At a Time in Al-Anon, 9 Sep)
