The Will to Continue: a Vision in Verse 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.
