Prayer of the Cross

Thank you Lord for teaching me,
That every person who injures me
       is God-sent to teach me humility;
That every incident that thrusts me into repeated pain
       is purposed to teach me perseverance;
That every time I deny my needs
       is only to realize that He is all I need;
That every trauma for which I have no answers
       is for me to know that Jesus is the answer;
Oh Lord, save this foolish soul from wandering,
       help me oh Lord, that you may find delight in me
       for I know that all else is deceit.
So grant me oh Lord, more and more wisdom
       to gain a spirit of quietness and mercy
       as I surrender in Jesus name.
       Amen.

This prayer was written on 23rd Feb 2007 as I was attempting to comprehend degrees of betrayal.
