...and a prayer for healing.

Stolen from lj, who showed it to me, because this is gorgeous.

Lord, open unto me

Open unto me -- light for my darkness.
Open unto me -- courage for my fear.
Open unto me -- hope for my despair.
Open unto me -- peace for my turmoil.
Open unto me -- joy for my sorrow.
Open unto me -- strength for my weakness.
Open unto me -- wisdom for my confusion.
Open unto me -- forgiveness for my sins.
Open unto me -- love for my hates.
Open unto me -- thy Self for my self.

Lord, Lord, open unto me!

--Howard Thurman


I found a slightly different version, here. It's about halfway down the page.
