If I choose to be silent I could

be viewed as weak or wise,

depending . . .

If I choose to fight I could 

be viewed as aggressive or brave,

depending . . .

If I choose to hope I could

be viewed as naive or optimistic,

depending . . .

Father God, depending on where life takes me I pray that you would help me to handle this daily life with the same grace You give.  With every step, help me to choose to look to You, O heavenly Father, because I want to be wise, I want to be brave, and I want to expect the best of every day You give.  Amen!
