a heartfelt prayer for cultivating the stoic virtue of wisdom
Dear God,
I bow to the Eternal wisdom that flows through all things.
Grant me the clarity to distinguish
What lies within my power from what does not.
Let me face each moment with equanimity,
Finding strength in reason and virtue,
Not in fleeting pleasures or hollow praise.
Guide my thoughts to align with nature's truth.
May I remember that true wealth lies
In the cultivation of my mind and spirit,
Not in external things that fade and rust.
Let wisdom guide my actions, not mere opinion.
Grant me the serenity to accept life's trials
As teachers on this path,
And the courage to live each day
In accordance with eternal law.
In grateful acceptance of what is,
I seek to grow in understanding,
To serve with purpose,
And to find peace in wisdom's light.
Amen.
I’m so happy and grateful to announce the release of my new short-form eBook “The Virtue of Wisdom”.
