God, grant me courage and hope for every day
Faith to guide me along my way
Understanding and wisdom, too
And grace to accept what life gives me to do.
It's easy to grow downhearted when nothing is going our way
It's easy to be discouraged when we have a troublesome day
But trouble is only a challenge to spur us on to achieve the best that God has to offer if we have the faith to believe
