A PRAYER:

(By Faiez Seyal)

Oh my Creator; Give me courage to be an instrument of peace for my fellow-men by changing their:

Doubt with Faith;

Despair with Hope;

Confusion with Clarity;

Purposelessness with Vision;

Sadness with Happiness;

Misconceptions with Truth;

Hunger with Food;

Disease with Health;

Hurt with Pardon;

Regrets with Content;

Fear with Courage;

Insult with Respect;

Hatred with Love;

Darkness with Light;

Blames with Self-responsibility;

Self-pity with Self-acceptability;

Snatching with Service;

Cures with Blessings;

Anger with Forgiveness;

Selfishness with Selflessness;

Control with Self-control;

Worries with Satisfaction;

Leisure with Labor;

Criticism with Appreciation;

                                False ego with Self-respect;

Taking with Giving;

Injustice with Justice;

Emptiness with Fulfillment;

Ignorance with Knowledge;

Reputation with Character;

Thanklessness with Gratitude;

Loneliness with Meditations;

Frustrations with Prayers!

 

Oh, my Lord, choose me to be a “Peace Maker” and grant me everything it takes to make the difference in the lives of people. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in forgiving that we are forgiven; and it is in dying that we live forever!
