When I am misunderstood, help me not to lash back.
When I have had my say, help me not to have the last word.
When others see things differently, help me to remember their context.
When I am enthusiastic, help me not to practice human sacrifice.
When others succeed, help me to celebrate.
When I am discouraged, remind me that you will accomplish your purposes.
When I am lonely, help me not to pity myself.

awww, and I thought literal would’ve been cooler! I figured that was what was implied though.
