Grant me peace today,
that I may convey calm compassion and understanding.

Grant me joy today,
that I may be one less troubled soul amidst a sea of fear and pain.

Grant me a generous heart today,
that I may be the source of sustenance and supply.

Grant me courage today,
that I can lend strength to those who may be failing.

Grant me serenity today,
that I might hold and anxious hand and speak words of comfort.

Grant me strength today,
that I might shoulder someone’s burden who is faint and failing.

Grant me clarity today,
that I might give wise and acceptable counsel.

Grant me patience today,
that I may endure the less-enlightened and those who harm.

Grant me endurance today,
to keep the bigger goal in mind and avoid the distractions of pettiness.

Grant me love today,
that I can see others without judgment, and with compassion – whoever they are.
