prayer

lord,

provide me with the humility to recognize my desperation for your grace, the compassion to bestow it upon your people; the peace to accept your plans in my life, the empathy to pacify the turmoil in others’; the truth in areas of my life where i’m blinded, the strength to convey your truth to those in darkness; the mercy where i am too proud, and the grace to be merciful with others.

the ground at the foot of the cross is level.

amen.
