Grant Me Patience...

One of my favorite bookmarks from my younger years. The wording really has a calming effect on me... :)

************************************************************************************

Grant me patience
when life seems too rough

When tempers flare

and anger starts to rise,

And when I think
I have had enough
Help me to see things

through another's eyes.


Grant me tolerance

for different views,

For those with whom

I don't always agree.

Just when I start

to argue or accuse,

Help me to know
the
wrong one might be me.

Grant me sympathy

and understanding

When others come to me

in need of caring;

Instead of disapproving

and demanding,

Help me to be

compassionate and
sharing.

Grant me humbleness

when I am proud,

Swift guidance when

I start to go astray,

The strength to rise

above the madding crowd,

And merciful forgiveness

when I pray.
