Serenity prayer - this prayer has been my screensaver for some quite time now. I've been teaching myself to accept things I cannot change, prayed for courage to change the things I can and asked for wisdom to know the difference. Additionally, I know and feel deep in my heart, that I will be challenged, not only this summer, but also for the rest of the year. Challenges - such a bittersweet word. Sometimes it is so much easier to stay in your comfort zone and just let things be, and yes, I am aware of the fact, that there is no growth to be found in the comfort zone. You can't excel, you won't be at your best, when you're just hanging out in your comfort zone. Another thing I should reduce is to give way. I need to learn that I am not always on the road who gives way, I should realize that sometimes it's ok if I am on the priority lane. But that is even harder than leaving your comfort zone. I'd rather give way, than put myself first. So many what ifs - but another what if won't hurt anyway. I would if I could, but I can't so I won't - a sentence I've learned in middle school. Who would've thought that this phrase will guide me up until now... almost 20 years later.
Dear precious Lord, I wonder how things will start to unfold - if there are any chances of change. Please push me harder, give me more obvious signs that show me the way. For all that YOU've already done, thank you. Sorry, for being so blind sometimes and cold-hearted most of the times. St. Anthony please help me find the clues. Please pray for me. Please tell our best friend to be more patient with me. I've been quite annoying. Thank you for praying for me, for interceding for me. I'm a difficult one, I guess. Dear Lord, thank you for not giving up on me. <3
