Give me patience, give me strength, <br />give me courage to forgive. <br />Help me find the Self inside <br />which causes me to love, to live. <br />Lead me through the twisting wood, <br />never fearing what's ahead. <br />Shine a light along my path, <br />show me where my footsteps tread. <br />Give me peace to fill me soul, <br />even in my darkest night. <br />Help me reach my deepest goal: <br />to know that everything's alright.<br /><br />Justin Phillips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fortitude-prayer/
