Teach me Lord to be sweet and gentle, in all the events of my life,
In disappointments,
In the thoughtlessness of others;
In the insincerity of those I trusted;
In the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.
Let me put myself aside,
To think of the happiness of others ,
To hide my little pains and heartaches,
So that I may be the only one to suffer from them.
Let me so use it that it may mellow me, not harden nor embitter me;
That it may make me patient, not irritable,
That it may make me broad in my forgiveness; not narrow, haughty and overbearing.
