Speak To Me, O Lord

God, speak to my inner being Give me the calmness of your spirit that I may take up the course in life without running and gasping. Give me the calmness of your spirit, O Lord, to be able to cry when life hurts but without giving up the hope in you. Give me the calmness of your spirit, O Lord, that I may not seek to prove what I can to be affirmed of my own worth. Deliver me, O Lord, from the self-seeking nature. Deliver me, O Lord, from the stress and hazzles of surviving and striving. Speak to my inner being, dear God, that I may find your peace and purpose in living that I may find my worth as your child without running the hectic race to compete for greatness.
