Father I'm facing something I'd rather not,
but I know there is good in it, that's what I've been taught.

I ask you Father please help me to see,
where is the lesson in what's happening to me.

Is it patience which you would have me to acquire,
is that a lesson which I should come to desire?

Are you teaching me how to face life by leaning on thee,
have I been far too reliant on the strength within me?

Must I look at situations with a broader prospective,
seeing that they affect others and be more selective?

Is there an example of how to react being shown to others,
are you using me to show you hear prayer to my sisters and brothers?

I know not what is happening or even why,
and it isn't necessary I know nor do I care to try.

I have chosen to surrender my life to you,
and in so doing your faith will get me through.

It matters not the reason for what is going on just now,
I trust in You and know we will succeed some how.

How can I prosper Father? How may I be of service to you?
I willingly offer all that I am or can ever be or do.

Thy will be done in whatever life is left in me,
I am your grateful servant for now and all eternity.
