Everybody should have a friend like Ralph. He can fix a lamp or a lawn mower, refinish furniture, build bookshelves. All by himself he has transformed his garage into a workshop and completely remodeled his mother’s house.
One day, marveling at these results over coffee, I asked, “Ralph, where did you learn to do all this?”
Thoughtfully he sipped his coffee, his blue eyes twinkling. Then Ralph gave me the words of his own special prayer:
“Jesus stand beside me.
Guide and direct my life.
Teach me what I need to know.
Help me with my work.
Let me serve you and others,
That I may be worthy of God’s grace.”
Ralph’s special prayer has become a part of my own life now. I say it every morning. And all day. Whenever I am anxious or confused about a situation, one phrase comes to my rescue: “Teach me what I need to know.”
Of all the things Ralph has done to help me, his prayer has helped most of all.
