My Daily Prayer

My dear Lord, my Higher Power…..
Here am I, offering my self to you
Please use me and use all my potential
To make this world a better place
For you, me and all

I don’t know how many more years I have
It does not matter to me now…
A year, two or a decade…
What matters to me is I live a meaningful life
Knowing I did my best to make this world a better place

One day, sooner or later, I too shall depart
My flesh, bones and blood will all get dried and become ash
I know I will not take any thing material – big or small
I know at the end of this journey I will not own anything
I would probably be left only with my spirit, which I don’t even know

If I ever get a chance to look back
I want to know I lived my best life
To know that I understood my life’s purpose
And I did my best to fulfill it, in the best of my ability

Please Lord, please use my life
Use my skills, knowledge and experiences I have acquired
Please give me a platform to use what I have
I want to live my life to the fullest and depart empty
I know I have a lot to give….. I know I have a lot to share….
Sometimes, I am just scared because I don’t know how
I am scared; I will depart without ever getting a chance to give all I have

Lord, you have put me through so many tests, trials, disappointments and sorrows,
Battle after battle, problem after problem, obstacle after obstacle
And sometimes, I have wondered – oh! Why or why me?
Now I realize, that this was on purpose, and to teach me important lessons in life – that I could not learn going to school
My life is rich and meaningful not because of my credentials and certifications
But because of true-life experiences I have had….
I can understand what other people go through in difficult times
Not because I have learnt them in school
But, because I have gone through them my self

Thank you for the lessons in life Lord,
For I am a much richer person now
Thank you for always been there for me and believing in me
And whispering in my ear that I can do it….
Thank you for believing in me
Even at times when I doubt about my own self

So, here is my prayer my Lord
Please use me, to make a difference in this world – at least to one person in one small way….
Please help me bring sunshine to someone’s life,
Please help me bring a smile to someone’s face,
Please help me bring comfort to someone’s heart
Use me Lord… Use me….
I want to live my life to the fullest and depart empty
When I depart, I want to feel that I have given all what I had…
And nothing was left behind….
