Dearest Lord,
teach me to be generous;
teach me to serve You as You deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for reward
save that of knowing I am doing Your Will.

Amen

The role of my faith in my life concentrates on Faith in Action, which I think is a better path to take than ramming faith down the throats of those who don't want it. However, prayer is important to me as a communication with God. This is a beautiful prayer to meditate on, and I felt compelled to post it on here. I feel, as a Christian, that our main challenge is to keep the peace and Love of Christ at the centre of our lives. I hold my hands up and admit that with everything else going on in life, I do have to work at this and I do struggle with it.
