Let us pray:
God our Father,
in good times
may I live in such a way
that I will be strengthened
for the difficult times
that all of us face in our lives.
Lead me now
to make positive choices
to value friendship and loyalty,
and develop attitudes and values,
treasuring all that is lasting
and important.
Throughout difficult times
may I build on
the positive choices of my past,
looking outward
in the service of others
and avoiding self-pity.
May I grow in the faith
that, whatever my circumstances,
I need have no regrets
but may entrust
my past to your mercy,
my present to your love,
and my future to your Providence.
May I know, too,
that my faith in you
is only a shadow
of your faith in me
and your love for me.
Amen.
