Oh God
Dear God, give me COURAGE, for perhaps I lack
it more than anything else.
I need COURAGE as I witness a lot of crimes.
I need COURAGE as I see my br0ther.
because I know the abuse that perhaps
he will be subjected to before he returns
from the ugly world.
I need COURAGE in dealing with the boss
when he is working long hours
during demonstrations or on a
War.
I need COURAGE when tensions buildup on
the job and pressures at home
to mount and life becomes almost
too much to bear.
I need COURAGE to stand firm and not to
succumb to the urge to run away
from problems.
Help me to have the strength to be a
COURAGEOUS and Valiant brother,
when I learn from the media that
"person is attacked ."
The next time I waver or grow faint-hearted,
Help me, O Divine Master,
to be COURAGEOUS.
And, having found the source of strength in
You, Help me to reach out to
others, who may be just
as scared as I.
