Teach me the art of small steps prayer
by Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry
Lord, I ask not
about miracles, and not the mirages, and the strength of each day. Teach me the
art of small steps.
Make me an
observant and resourceful, that the diversity of everyday life in time to dwell
on the discoveries and experiences that made me excited.
Teach me how to
properly dispose of time in my life. Give me a subtle flair to distinguish
primary from the secondary.
I ask about the
power of restraint and measures that I have on life fluttered and slid, and
wisely planned throughout the day, could see the tops and gave, and even
sometimes to find time to enjoy art.
Help me to
understand that dreams cannot be a help. No dreams of the past or dreams of the
future. Help me to be here and now and accept that moment as the most
important.
Protected me from
a naive belief that everything in life should be smooth. Give me a clear
consciousness that the complexity of defeat, the fall and failure are just a
natural part of life, through which we grow and mature.
Remind me that the
heart often argues with reason.
Send me the right
time for someone who has the courage to tell me the truth, but tell her loving!
I know that many
problems can be solved if we do nothing, so teach me patience.
You know how much
we need the friendship. Let me be worthy of the most beautiful and tender gift
of fate.
Give me a rich
imagination at the right time, at the right place, in silence, or speaking,
give someone the necessary heat.
Make me a man who
knows how to reach those who are “down”.
Keep me from fear
of missing something in life.
Give me not what I
want, but what I really need.
