The Prayer Of John Ballie

Prayer

Teach me, O God, so to use all the circumstances of my life today that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin. Let me use disappointment and material for patience. Let me use success as material for thankfulness. let me use trouble as material for perseverance. Let me use danger as material for courage. Let me use reproach as material for long suffering. Le me use praise as material for humility. Let me use pleasures as material for temperance. Let me use pain as material for endurance.
