O Lord!
I do not ask for Your protection in times of difficulty,
I pray for fearlessness while facing them.
I do not seek Your solace in times of distress,
I pray that I can defy sadness and emerge victorious.
I do not urge You to pick me up,
I pray for the strength to swim across.
I do not request You to offload my worries,
I pray for the spirit to live through them.
When I receive no help from the world, may I not give in to cowardice.
When only deception comes my way, may I not consider it as my loss.
I only pray that in the bright favourable days, may I remain humble to recognise You behind them all; and in the dark unfavourable nights, may I always remember, ‘but I have You!’
Om Peace Peace Peace
