The Will To Continue: A Vision in Verse

by Rachel Penermon

Faithful CreatorRemove from me all malice and hate Remove the desire to retaliateFill my heart with love and charityHelp me forgive when others offend meWhen I am weak, while running this raceBless my soul with sufficient graceGive me a mind to do thy willWisdom to know when to keep stillLet me live so others might seeYour divine light shining through mePrepare my heart with each step I takeReducing the errors I am apt to makeLet joy and peace abound in my lifePut far from me all envy and strifeHelp me to atone for faults and sinTo apologize to others whom I offendLift me up when I stumble and fallFaithful Creator, plead my causeDirect my paths, order my stepsAs I keep thy commandments and thy preceptsWhat is the source of perseverance and resilience-that embedded ability to bounce back? In whatever situation you find yourself, there is a verse in The Will to Continue that will encourage and propel you to reach your fullest potential.
