Let me have the wisdom to avoid and keep out of peril.

Forgive me for living the hard way.  (Norman Vincent Peale)

Anonymous

Many words do not a good prayer make; what counts is the heartfelt desire to commune with God, and the faith to back it up.

Help me to remember those who came before us and be grateful for their sacrifices ... (Marilyn Moore Jenkins, Daily Guideposts, 17 Sep 1988)

Jean Paul Richter

Let prayer be the key of the day and the bolt of the night.

Help me to remember that things are not always as they appear.  (Good News Day by Day, 15 Sep)

Lord, I don't know why I'm here.  I used to know, but now I'm not sure.  But I remember that You know why and will help me.  (Daily Guideposts, 12 Aug 2004)
