It has been a day of frustrations, Lord,
each really small by itself account
however all collectively including as much as one grand annoyance.
what my frustrations have been, Lord,
and I might be embarrassed to element them right here
for all my readers to see
as a result of even taken all collectively,
my vexations are minor, even trivial,
in comparison with the ache and issues,
the setbacks, stress and strife,
the disappointments many undergo
day-after-day, across the clock
and yr after yr after yr…
So, grant me some perspective
on the molehills I have to climb
whereas my neighbor scales a mountain’s top
of turmoil, trials and troubles…
My issues weigh as nothing, Lord,
when seen towards my neighbor’s load
so free me from my petty woes,
to make use of my energy and provides my coronary heart
to these whose wants are actually nice…
Please, give me some perspective,
give me your perspective, Lord,
that I would see with knowledge’s eye
what you see in us all…
Defend me, Lord, whereas I am awake
and watch over me whereas I sleep
that awake, I would maintain watch with you
and asleep relaxation in your peace…
Amen.
