how to have Peace.................
LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS,
SINCE AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE
CALLED TO PEACE, AND BE THANKFUL, (COLOSSIANS 3:15)
and by living this prayer it will help you find true peace and
serenity indeed!
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful World as it is,
Not as I would have it;
Trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to Your will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You
Forever in the next. Amen.
Author, Reinhold Niebuhr

VACATION TRAVEL PRAYER.............
VACATION TRAVEL PRAYER
Let us pray:
O God, we entrust ourselves to you as we begin our journey. Keep us safe,
and give us the grace to be generous to one another and to be courteous and
kind to everyone we meet along the way. Help us to recognize when we are
getting on each others nerves, to know when reconciliation is necessary, and
to watch out for each other's needs as we travel. Be with us, Lord, guide us
and protect us on our way, so that we might reach our destination in safety
and happily return home.
Amen.
