Sometimes the most powerful prayers
come from unbowed heads
open eyes
and wordless expressions
that get shouted from the
h e a r t
what a mouth can’t whisper
and what dirty unfolded hands
can’t begin to grasp

Sometimes prayer
come askew
not quite picture-perfect

with a new ending:

Millions of people pray the Serenity Prayer, which is based on the Lord’s Prayer, but most have never read the last eight lines to the prayer:

“Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.     .     .
Amen.”

That’s where the power is!
Power comes when you
surrender anything
you’ve been trying to control;
And that will lead you to living a life of serenity.       .     .
or
You can try it
YOUR WAY
A Different Kind of Prayer
maybe
but the purest
of them all:
