A Place in the World
We all have one.
For what do I seek comfort, from what do I seek relief, why do I seek strength?
To be a channel for you to reach others, Lord.
Grant me strength to give aid, relief from woe that I may turn attention to my fellows, comfort that I may know the feeling of ease after trial and so pass it on.
❖
This is my place in the world, lord: to be the means by which you act.
Let me fully occupy my place.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I accept my place in this world as if it were exactly what I always wanted?
