+++++++LORD--I ASK......

(Submitted By MIZZGRACE)


Lord I ask...

for the self-awareness to know honestly what I am, what I can do, and what I cannot;

  for the judgement  to channel my energies into those avenues  which best utilize my abilities and do not require talents which I do not possess;

  for the wisdom  to admit error cheerfully  and learn from my experiences, that I may grow and develop and avoid repetition of mistakes;

  for the humility to learn from others even though  they be younger, less experienced, or of humbler station  than I;

  for the courage to make decisions whenever they are necessary and to avoid rashness when they are not;

  for the consideration to recognize the worth of each individual, and to respect all those  with whom I have contact, neither stifling them nor exalting myself at their expense;

  for the tolerance to recoginze mistakes as a cost of true learning;

  for the insight to develope personal  philosophy, that my life may have more meaning  and  satisfaction and that I may avoid capisous action under the pressures of expediency;

  for patience to live realistically with my circumstances, striving always for the better but recognizing the perils of ill-considered change;

  for all these things, dear Lord, that I may live a more useful life, through serving my fellowmen and You.
