Father’s prayer, again

Was feeling tired and weary.
Glad to find the same prayer source my strength again
Prayer that dear to me
And beautiful to the weary man

“Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort,
but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge.
”

Once again i take up the stress and challenge.
It’s not easy. It’s difficult. Never mind, take up the challenge.

“Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid;
”

Indeed there’s fear within for failure,
and mockery and ridicule and losing face, fame, reputation …
Never mind, be brave even when afraid …
be strong even when ye are weak within …

“one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.
”

And ye can be proud in honest defeat ….
It’s not shameful to lose
It’s not unforgiveable
It’s not final
As long as ye have done the best … be proud even in defeat
And more importantly … humble and gentle in victory …
Help me dear Lord
Here let him learn to stand up in the storm;
here let him learn compassion for those who fail.

“Here let him learn to stand up in the storm;
here let him learn compassion for those who fail.
”

At the end, is a man of God….neither afraid nor fear of defeat,
yet humble and compassionate even in victory
who can be praised more…one that’s humble in victory
and strong man yet compassionate for he knows how frail the man soul within.

Onwards go!
