this about himself: I was a Revolutionary
when I was young And all my prayer to god was:
“Lord give me energy to change the world “.
As I approached middle age

I realized that half my life was gone
without changing a single soul, I change my
prayer to : “Lord give me the grace to change
all those who come in contact with me. Just my
friends, family, and I shall be satisfied.”
Now that I am old man and my days are numbered, I

have begun to see how foolish I have been. My
one prayer now is “Lord give me energy to
change myself”. If I have prayed this
right from the start, I should
have not wasted my life.
CONCLUSION
