Prayer 

For Christians, talking to God about our problems is a natural response and source of comfort.  God is listening and ready to help us in challenging times. He will provide us with the comfort and wisdom we need for every situation. Praying to God helps to calm us, to give us peace and will draw us closer to Him and to others. Here is a short video explaining more about Christian Prayer. 

Following is a beautiful prayer that you might like to pray: 

God, grant me the serenity 

to accept the things I cannot change, 

the courage to change the things I can, 

and the wisdom to know the difference. 

Living one day at a time, 

enjoying one moment at a time; 

accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, 

this sinful world as it is, 

not as I would have it; 

trusting that You will make all things right 

if I surrender to Your will; 

so that I may be reasonably happy in this life 

and supremely happy with You forever in the next. 

Amen.  (Reinhold Neibuhr 1892-1971)
