Thank you to all the contest participants! We enjoyed praying through them and deciding which to select as the winner. You can read all the Serenity Prayer submissions in the previous post.
Lynda Garguilo provided the winning prayer:
Lord, you know my prayers, wishes, hopes & dreams better than I know them myself.
Grant those that you will, and give me the grace to accept your will in all things.
Thank you for my faith, and for your graces, mercy, protection, guidance and
inspiration. Thank you too for the struggles we bear in your name.
Help me to hear your voice and do your will. Amen.
Lynda will receive two mugs with her prayer on them. Her mugs will be custom made in our full service personalized gifts shop.
WALKING, WINDSWIFT ON A WAVE SPLASHED BEACH =
I SPOKE TO THE EARLY PILGRIMS WHO WALKED THESE SALTED SANDS BEFORE ME -
“WE CAME FROM A LAND WHERE WE COULD NOT PRAY.
WE WISHED FOR FREEDOM EACH DAY
WE FOUND IT WHERE THE SEA SHELLS LAY.
WE WALK GENTLY LEST WE FALL
IN THE RAINS OF EARLY TWILIGHT
OR THE DEW OF EARLY MORN.”
