Prayer of the Bodhisattva

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look to allies in life's battlefield
but to my own strengths.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved
but hope for the patience to win my own freedom.

"As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect."

life seemed to be a fault of grace but it's okay.

Beautiful!

Reminds me of St. Francis's Peace Prayer.

Liked the prayer very much.

I also had the same thought about St. Francis' Peace Prayer when I read it.
