This poem has been on my mind ever since I saw this video put out by the World Race.

I memorized this prayer, and I am praying this over me and my team.

Will you join me in this prayer?

 

Lord Make Me An Instrument by St. Francis of Assisi

 

O Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me bring love

Where there is offense, let me bring pardon

Where there is discord, let me bring union

Where there is error, let me bring truth

Where there is doubt, let me bring faith

Where there is despair, let me bring hope

Where there is darkness, let me bring Your light

Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.

O Master, let me not seek as much to be consoled as to console

To be understood as to understand

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that one receives

It is in self-forgetting that one finds

It is in pardoning that one is pardoned

It is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.
