Prayer for Loving Others
Lord,
Make me an instrument of your love.May I see each circumstance in my life as an opportunity to grow in your love.
May I see my environment as a place to grow in your love.
May I then take this love to other people.....
*When I am tempted to become impatient, help me to be patient.
*When I am tempted to become unkind, help me to be kind.
*When I am tempted to become jealous, help me to be tolerant.
*When I am tempted to become boastful or proud, help me give you the glory.
*When I am tempted to be rude or selfish, give me the gift of gentleness.
*When I am tempted to take offense, help me to let go .
*When I am tempted to become angry with someone, give me the gift of forgiveness .
*When I am tempted to become resentful , give me your power to love.Lord, grant that I may take no pleasure in criticizing others, but that I may see good in them, as you do.
**When I begin to concentrate on the faults and failures of others, give me courage to praise their accomplishments.
**Help me be loyal to those you give me to love.
**Help me to believe in them, even when they do not believe in themselves. To expect the best from them, but accept the best they can give. May I always defend them, as you always defend me.All gifts and powers come from you. All will come to an end. With one important exception, the gift of love!!! Lord, when I was a child, I thought like a child, I acted like a child, and I reasoned like a child. Now that I have become an adult, I release my childish ways.
Amen
