Do not pray for an easy life,
pray for the strength to endure a difficult one
For life is not a bed of roses
It's filled with thorns and treacherous obstacles
But with the strength to endure
You'll glide through life's turbulent waves

A difficult life is no walk in the park
It demands your willpower to engage
The resilience to keep going
When everything around you seems to crumble
It tests your strength, your character
And molds you into a better version of yourself

When the winds of change come blowing
And storm clouds gather above your head
When friends turn into foes
And your dreams shatter before your eyes
When your mind and body are weary and weak
And your soul longs for peace and rest
That's when you need to dig deep
And summon the strength to endure

For life is not only about triumphs and victories
But also about struggles and defeats
It's not about the destination
But about the journey you take
It's about the lessons you learn
And the memories you make
It's about the friendships you forge
And the love you give and receive

Look back on the hardships you've faced
And count the blessings along the way
For every tear that's fallen
There's been a smile waiting to light up your day
For every setback that's happened
There's been an opportunity to grow and overcome
For every mistake that's been made
There's been a chance to learn from it and move on

So, do not pray for an easy life
But pray for the strength to endure a difficult one
For therein lies the power to overcome
And the ability to rise above
Let your courage and your faith
Be the foundation of your strength
Let love and hope be your guiding light
And never give up the fight

For life is fleeting and precious
And it's up to us to make it count
To live a life of purpose and meaning
And leave behind a legacy profound
So, no matter what life throws at you
Remember these words, my friend, and hold on tight
For with the strength to endure
You'll always find your way to the light
