Im not typically a religious person in the traditional sense.  But this prayer is so very special to me.

Divine spirit, make me an instrument of Peace,

where there is hatred, let me so love,

where there is injury, pardon,

where there is doubt, faith,

where there is despair, hope,

where there is darkness, light,

where there is sadness, joy!

-Prayer of St. Francis

What words to live by!
