My Favorite Prayer

Blessed are you who take time to listen to the spastic speech:

For you help us to know that if we persevere we can be understood.

Blessed are you who walk with us in public places and ignore the stares of strangers:

For in your companionship we find havens of relaxation.

Blessed are you who never bid us hurry up and more blessed you who do not snatch our tasks from our hands to do them for us:

For often we need time rather than help.

Blessed are you who stand beside us as we enter new and untried ventures:

For our failures will be outweighed by the times when we surprise ourselves and you.

Blessed are you when, by all these things, you assure us that the thing that makes us individuals is NOT in our peculiar muscles, NOT in our wounded nervous systems, but in GOD-given self which NO infirmity can confine.

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad – and know that you give us reassurance that could never be spoken in words:

For you deal with us as Jesus dealt with the slow, the halt, the blind, and the lame.
