I cannot do everything I wish.

“Take my hand, Lord,

and lead me through this day,

step by step.

Remind me that I cannot do everything I wish,

nor do any of it perfectly.

Only You are perfect,

and only with Your help

can I do my best.

Help me to remember to ask for that help.

Amen.”

- Avery Brooke

every answer to prayer is an indication of God’s mercy.”
