Almighty God and Father, give us to see that the priceless wisdom gained in our yesterdays is to be woven into our todays and tomorrows. You have made us custodians of many good things, make us good stewards of all that has been entrusted to us. Grant us a faith that rises above frustrations, a patience that bears the strain of waiting, goodwill that cannot be discouraged, and an understanding which knows no measure. Teach us to value a conscience void of offense and the royalty of inward peace above all the pedestals, prizes and preferences that this world can offer.
Amen.
