“Lord…

That Christ would increase my patience and decrease my irritability.

That Christ would increase my self control and decrease my anger.

That Christ would increase my love, gentleness, and kindness and decrease my selfishness and self centeredness.

That my hands, thoughts, words and actions would not be idle or foolish, but fruitful, profitable and glorifying to God.

That Christ would increase my wisdom and decrease my foolishness.

That I would be kind, warm, tender, and gentle even when everyone around me is not.

That Christ would increase my thankfulness and decrease my bitterness. That forgiveness would reign.

That I would be filled with Christ’s beauty, joy, laughter, gladness and peace.

Make me a woman of Prayer and of Your Word.

Amen.”
