Sidewalks Chalk 
dear lord,
Give me strength and wisdom
to live this day as I should
Give me strength
to overcome every temptation which may come to me
to do well every task which is assigned to me
to shoulder every responsibility which is laid upon my shoulders.
Give me wisdom
to know when to speak and when to keep silent
to know when to act and when to refrain from action
to know when to speak my mind
I pray that You will grant me
the grace of inner Peace.
As You commanded the storm winds at sea to be calm
command the storms in my life to be calmed.
Give me the patience I need
to cope with the burdens and anxieties of my life
Grant me the strength to better deal with my problems
and the understanding to be more tolerant
and kind to others
Teach me to seek after Your will
which alone brings peace of mind
and peace of heart.
in this I pray
amen.
