Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them./Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it./Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength./Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for the patience to win my freedom./Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone;/But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
