Prayer for humility

++

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.

    amen brother. I really like the ‘human sacrifice’ one! ;-)

    Heh. Perhaps I should explain the term: it refers to any time we place religion ahead of people — especially one’s own family.

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