The Best Way For Me

Dear God,

I am full of wishes,
Full of desires,
Full of expectations.
Some of them may be realized,
Many may not,
But in the midst of all my satisfactions
And disappointments,
I hope in You.
I know that You will never leave me alone
And will fulfill Your divine promises.
Even when it seems that things are not going my way, I know that they are going Your way
And that in the end Your way is the Best way for me. O Lord, strengthen my hope,
Especially when my many wishes are not fulfilled.
Let me never forget that Your name is Love.

Amen.
