prayer for a formator

gifting jesus
(by thea quintos, DLS-CSB LMO)

you have brought me to the ministry i am in by your design.
many times i wonder at the choice you have made,
but i can only TRUST in your goodness and unfathomable wisdom.

the work is not eays, lord.
there are days thati find myself weary in thought, spirit and body.
there are many challenges, and at times, seemingly insurmountable tasks before me.
lt me never forget that THE WORK IS YOURS
and tht i am here to help you accomplish the work.
remind methat you will always give me sufficient grace to face everything.

when work is overwhelming, and seemingly hopeless,
letme not forget the necesity of going to prayer.
remind me thta you too always took time to STOP AND PRAY.

when i find myself face to face with difficult personalitites,
letme not forget that i too can be difficult at all times.
remind me that you sent and continue to send individuals
to mold and nurture me also,

and when i am ready to give up,
let me not forget the wonder and gift of TOUCHING THE HEARTS of others
and guiding them to become better persons.

remind me constantly that this is a MINISTRY OF LOVE radiated by JOY.
may i always follow yourexmaple of life.

glory be....
