A Pilgrim’s Prayer If any delays should occur or changes take place prior to my departure, and I become anxious Lord, may I remember – I am a pilgrim, not a tourist. If I do not get the seat of my choice on the plane Lord, may I remember – I am a pilgrim, not a tourist.
4
If some things do not happen on schedule, as per the itinerary Lord, may I remember – I am a pilgrim, not a tourist. If I should get tired and inclined to become short tempered Lord, may I remember – I am a pilgrim, not a tourist. A Pilgrim’s Prayer
5
If any meal in a foreign country may not be to my particular liking Lord, may I remember – I am a pilgrim, not a tourist. If another pilgrim is talking loudly, so I cannot hear the guide Lord, may I remember – I am a pilgrim, not a tourist. A Pilgrim’s Prayer
6
If someone takes a better seat on the bus, or more choice place in the restaurant Lord, may I remember – I’m a pilgrim, not a tourist. If I find myself last in line or waiting to be served Lord, may I remember – I’m a pilgrim, not a tourist. A Pilgrim’s Prayer
7
If the person in front of me buys the last item I really wanted Lord, may I remember – I’m a pilgrim, not a tourist. If I should get the chance to help another person, who always seems to be annoying me Lord, may I remember – I’m a pilgrim, not a tourist. A Pilgrim’s Prayer
8
If someone else is always last on the bus, and I am always on time Lord, may I remember – I’m a pilgrim, not a tourist. But Lord, especially let me remember that what I find objectionable in another is really what you often find objectionable in me. A Pilgrim’s Prayer
9
So let me never forget this and forgive others as you are continually forgiving me. Amen. A Pilgrim’s Prayer
