like many others book i started reading the Paulo Coelho " Flowing like the river", a few months back.....the book was more of his personal experiences and more of a his bibliograpphy this time and appealed less to me.... but as i had spentmy pocket money on it so i kept on reading it.....
after so many pages i felt that there is somethng about this book which ia m not getting .. the essence .. the theme of it.... " Lessons" and after a one more page i come accross something which changed whole my thinking and mood all of a sudden and it was this piece of writing....
A Wonderful Prayer!
"Lord! Protect our doubts, because Doubt is a way of praying. It is doubt that makes us grow because it forces us to look fearlessly at the many answers that exists to one question. And in order for this to be possible….
Lord! Protect our decisions , because making Decisions is a way of praying. Give us the courage, after our doubts, to be able to choose between one road and another. May our YES always be a YES, and our NO always is a NO. Once we have chosen our road, may we never look back nor allow our soul to be eaten away by remorse. And in order for this to be possible ….
Lord! Protect our Dreams , because to Dream is a way of praying. Make sure that, regardless of our age or our circumstances, we are capable of keeping alight in our heart the sacred flame of hope and perseverance. And in order for this to be possible….
Lord! Give us Enthusiasm , because enthusiasm is a way of praying. It is what binds us to the Heavens and to Earth, to grown-ups, and to children; it is what tells us that our desires are important and deserve our best efforts. It is Enthusiasm that reaffirms to us that everything is possible, as long as we are totally committed to what we are doing. And in order for this to be possible…."
AMEEN
now i felt this person covered whole my life experience and thinking into one prayer ... and something which is no one can understand better then me or who wrote it perhaps in light of his experiences!
