A Royal Prayer

God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage. In the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Amen.

-Prince William and Catherine Middleton, 2011

My Prayer

I want to have joy.
I want to have peace.
I want to be content with where God has me, but discontent with where my relationship is with Him.
I want to be excited about my life.
I want to look forward to things instead of dreading them.
I want to be so thankful for what I DO have that there is no room inside my heart or head to think about the things I DON'T.
Lord, help me get to that place.
And once I do Lord, help me stay there.
In all this craziness that is this life living in this world, help me live IN it but not be OF it.
I love You and You love me.
I want this to the premise for everything I do.
