God, give me the courage and strength to see clearly.  (Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go, 24 Jul)

Calm me, Lord.

Lord, help me to cherish my children for who they are, not for what I expect them to be.  And, let me support their dreams, too, through all their seasons of change.  (Linda Ching Sledge in Guideposts, 13 Aug 1994)
