Strength

O God! Give me the strength

To overcome dejection with enthusiasm
To overcome inaction with action
To overcome failure with perseverance
And to overcome grief with happiness

O God! Give me the strength

To overcome weakness with strength
To overcome anger with patience
To overcome the negative with positive thoughts
And to overcome temptation with reasoning

To top it all, O God, give me the strength never to pray and ask you for anything. :-))
