Prayer for Perseverance
When we have
challenges that
seem to weigh us down
May we have perseverance
and know we have wisdom
and the spiritual and
emotional tools to keep going
When we have lost someone
we love and the pain
goes straight to our soul
May we
have perseverance
and know we have wisdom and the spiritual and
emotional tools to keep going
When we have been hurt
by the words or
actions of others
May we have perseverance
and know we have wisdom and the spiritual and
emotional tools to keep going
When we are worried
about
the future and what
it may hold for us
May we have perseverance
and know we have wisdom and the
spiritual and emotional tools
to keep going
Jesus has given us what
we need to not only survive
but grow in faith
Amen
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low
and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but
don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When
he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal
is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's
cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to
the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
