Ancient Christian Witness

Lord and Master of my life,

Take away from me the will to be lazy and to be sad,

The desire to get ahead of other people and to boast and brag

Give me instead, a pure and humble spirit,

The will to be patient with others and to love them.

Grant, Lord, that I may realize my own mistakes,

And keep me from judging the things other people do.

For You are blessed, now and forever. Amen
