When Ruth Bell Graham left China to go to college in America (Wheaton in Illinois), she penned the following prayer/poem -- good for all trials:
Test me, Lord, and give me strength
to meet each test
unflinching, unafraid;
not striving nervously to do my best
not self-assured, or careless as in just
but with Your aid.
Purge me, Lord, and give me grace
to bear the heat
of cleansing flame;
not bitter at my lowly lot, but meet
to bear my share of suffering and keep sweet
in Jesus' Name.
