Show Me the Course Steer the ship of my life, good Lord, to your quiet harbour, where I can be safe from the storms of sin and conflict. Show me the course I should take. Renew in me the gift of discernment, so that I can always see the right direction in which I should go. And give me the strength and the courage to choose the right course, even when the sea is rough and the waves are high, knowing that through enduring hardship and danger in your name we shall find comfort and peace. - Basil of Caesarea (c. 329-379)

Darksign, I know that you read other peoples journals, and I\'m glad you read mine, but it seems to me that you peek into our lives as an observer and not a participant.
When are you going to let us get to know about you like you get to read about us???????????
Your prayers are beautiful, and sincere, but they don\'t let us get to know who you are.
Don\'t get me wrong, I enjoy reading your prayers, and they are inspirational, but who is the person writing these beautiful prayers, and what does he do all day????

About Me:
I hadn\'t slept in 25 years til I got meds. Happily married for 18 yrs. I am a devout Catholic. I do a lot of praying. For me, Daily Strength and prayer are about coming to a better place. My past is a lot like \"My Name Is Earl\", without the humor. I have made it my mission to demonstrate my devotion to living through Christ.
Your prayers are so inspiring and so real!! I wonder if it would be ok with you if I saved some of them to my computer?
I would like to be able to relfect on them.
These prayers don\'t \'belong\' to me. They belong to God.
That\'s how I feel about my art...it belongs to God not me. I\'m just lucky to get to do it. I loved this passage. God is timeless. Our need and connection to Christ.
