The Art Of Small Steps - Antoine de Saint Exupery

I found this note or a prayer written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, an author of The Little Prince, that famous book, on my old personal blog. I found it calming my mind a bit when it rambling in such chaotic unexplained thoughts. When you feel lost and fulled-up by anxiety that you might not even aware of. You try to understand and try to untangled each thought, to know what's important and what's not. Then, you would like to get a silver lining to solve the problems, to know what should I do next, maybe this below prayer will help you to hold on there, having a little bit faith to finally able to find a reason, an explanation, or an action to take once at a time. Meanwhile, here's a cup of coffee and a little notebook for your companion...

Lord, I’m not praying for miracles and visions, I’m only asking for power for my days.

Teach me the art of small steps!

Make me clever and witty among the diversity of days to be able to record important recognition and experiences!

Help me prioritize to use my time accurately!

Present me with safe senses to be able to judge whether a thing is first rank or second rank priority!

I pray for power for discipline and moderation, not only to run through my life, but also to live my days reasonably, and observe unexpected pleasures and heights!

Save me from the naive belief that everything goes smoothly in life!

Present me with the sober recognition that difficulties, failures, fiascoes, set-backs are additional elements given by life itself that make us grow and mature.

Send a person to me in the right moment who has enough courage and love to utter the truth!

We do not say the truth to ourselves, others say that to us.

I know that many problems get solved by themselves without doing anything. Please help me to be able to wait!

You are the one who knows how much we need courage.

Make me worthy for the nicest, hardest, riskiest and most fragile gifts of life!

Present me with enough fantasy to be able to mediate a little bit of charity, in the right place, on the right time, with or without words!

Spare me from the fear of letting life slip!

Do not give me only things I desire, give me things I need as well!

Teach me the art of small steps!
