The art of small steps. Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Prayer

Prayer

Lord, I ask not for miracles and not for mirages, but for the power of each day.
Teach me the art of small steps.
Make me observant and resourceful so that in the variegation of everyday life I stop in time on the discoveries and experiences that excited me.
Teach me how to properly manage the time of my life.
Give me a subtle flair to distinguish the primary from the secondary.
I ask for the strength of abstinence and measures so that I don’t flutter and slip through life, but reasonably plan the course of the day, I could see peaks and distances, and at least sometimes find time to enjoy art.
Help me understand, illusions can’t help. No memories of the past, no dreams of the future.
Help me to be here and now and take this minute as the most important.
Save me from the naive belief that everything in life should be smooth.
Give me a clear understanding that difficulties, defeats, falls and failures are only a natural part of life, thanks to which we grow and mature.
Remind me that the heart often argues with reason.
Send me at the right time someone who has the courage to tell me the truth, but to tell it in love!
I know that many problems are solved if nothing is done, so teach me patience.
You know how much we need friendship.
Let me be worthy of this most beautiful and gentle Gift of Fate.
Give me a rich imagination, so that at the right moment, at the right time, in the right place, silently or speaking, give someone the necessary warmth.
Make me a person who knows how to get through to those who are completely “below”.
Save me from the fear of missing something in life.
Give me not what I want for myself, but what I really need.

Teach me the art of small steps.
