God, widen my vision so I may see
The afflictions You have sent to me
Not as a cross too heavy to wear
That weighs me down in gloomy despair
Not as something to hate and despise
But a gift of love sent in disguise
Something to draw me closer to You
To teach me patience and forbearance, too
Something to show me more clearly
The way
to serve You and love You more every day
Something priceless and precious and rare
That will keep me forever safe in Thy care
Aware of the spiritual strength that is mine
Let my selfish, small will be lost in Thine!
