Peace Prayer

Two weeks ago I was with a team from Wooddale Church from Minnesota and during the devotional time they passed out The Peace Prayer (attributed to St. Francis of Assisi). It was something that just spoke to me and touched my heart and I wanted to share it with all of you!

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
