There was a wonderful prayer in "The little Prince", such a wise and kind little book! It is said that the author was going through difficult times when he wrote it. I would like just to leave it here for whoever needs it :
"Lord, I’m not praying for miracles and visions, I’m only asking for strength for my days. Teach me the art of small steps.
•Make me clever and resourceful, so that I can find important discoveries and experiences among the diversity of days.
•Help me use my time better. Present me with the sense to be able to judge whether something is important or not.
•I pray for the power of discipline and moderation, not only to run throughout my life, but also to live my days reasonably, and observe unexpected pleasures and heights.
•Save me from the naive belief that everything in life has to go smoothly. Give me the sober recognition that difficulties, failures, fiascos, and setbacks are given to us by life itself to make us grow and mature.
•Send me the right person at the right moment, who will have enough courage and love to utter the truth!
•I know that many problems solve themselves, so please teach me patience.
•You know how much we need friendship. Make me worthy of this nicest, hardest, riskiest and most fragile gift of life.
•Give me enough imagination to be able to share with someone a little bit of warmth, in the right place, at the right time, with words or with silence.
•Spare me the fear of missing out on life.
•Do not give me the things I desire, but the things I need.
