umthandazo wokuzola
Nkulunkulu, ngiphe ukuthula
yemukela izinto engingeke ngikwazi ukuziguqula, the
isibindi sokushintsha izinto engingakwazi
kanye nobuhlakani bokwazi umehluko.
Phila usuku olulodwa ngesikhathi,
Jabulela umzuzu owodwa ngesikhathi,
Yamukela ubunzima njengendlela yokuthula,
Thatha, njengoba kwenza uJesu,
Lomhlaba onesono njengoba unjalo,
Hhayi ukuthi bengizokwenza kanjani,
Ngethemba ukuthi uzolungisa zonke izinto,
Uma ngizinikela entandweni yakho,
ukuze ngijabule ngendlela efanele kulempilo,
futhi ngijabule kakhulu nawe
phakade kokulandelayo.
Amen.
- Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

Nguwe engiphendukela kuye ukuze ngithole usizo ngezikhathi zobuthakathaka nangezikhathi zokuswela. Ngiyakucela ukuba ube nami kulokhu kugula nokuhlupheka.

Nkosi ethandekayo, ngiyakucela ukuba uguqule lobu buthakathaka bube amandla, lokhu kuhlupheka kube ububele, ubuhlungu bube yinjabulo nobuhlungu bube yinduduzo kwabanye. Kwangathi mina, inceku yakho, ngithembele ebuhleni bakho, futhi ngethemba ukwethembeka kwakho, ngisho naphakathi kwalo mshikashika. Ngigcwalise ngesineke nenjabulo ebukhoneni bakho njengoba ngiphefumula impilo yakho yokuphulukisa.
Ngicela ungibuyisele ekupheleleni. Khipha konke ukwesaba nokungabaza enhliziyweni yami ngamandla kaMoya wakho oNgcwele futhi sengathi wena, Nkosi, ukhazimuliswe empilweni yami.
Njengoba ungiphilisa futhi ungivuselela, Nkosi, ngibusise futhi ngidumise.
Konke lokhu, ngithandaza egameni likaJesu Kristu.
Amen.
Umthandazo wokuthula
Lo mthandazo wokuthula owaziwa kakhulu ungumkhuleko wamaKrestu wasendulo kaSt. Francis wase-Assisi (1181-1226).
Nkosi, ngenze ngibe yithuluzi lokuthula kwakho;
lapho kukhona inzondo, mangihlwanyele uthando;
uma ungalimala, ngiyaxolisa;
lapho kunokungabaza, ukukholwa;
lapho kunokuphelelwa yithemba, ithemba;
lapho kukhona ubumnyama, ukukhanya;
lapho kunosizi khona, injabulo.
O Master Waphezulu,
ngiyavuma ukuthi mhlawumbe angifuni kakhulu ukududuzwa ukuze ngiduduze;
ukuqondwa, ukuthi kuqondwe kanjani;
ukuthandwa, ukuthanda;
ngokuba kusekunikeleni lokho esikwamukelayo.
sixolelwe,
futhi kungokufa ukuthi sizalelwe ukuphila okuphakade.
Amen.
- St. Francis of Assisi
