A Place in the World

We all have one.

For what do I seek comfort, from what do I seek relief, why do I seek strength?

To be a channel for you to reach others, Lord.

Grant me strength to give aid, relief from woe that I may turn attention to my fellows, comfort that I may know the feeling of ease after trial and so pass it on.

❖

This is my place in the world, lord: to be the means by which you act.

Let me fully occupy my place.

– from the mountain


Consider:

Can I accept my place in this world as if it were exactly what I always wanted?
