mind free from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point swiftly. Seal my lips on my aches and pains. Hiccups in my physical body are increasing, and love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by. I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy the tales of other’s pains, but help me to endure them with patience. I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility. When my memory seems to clash with the memories of others, keep my tongue tamed that I allow them the grace that You have so lavished upon me. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken. Make me thoughtful but not moody. Helpful, but not bossy. More humble than right. Thou knowest all Lord, and because of Your work in me, my hope is that you grant me a few friends as I come to the end of myself..... O Lord, give me the grace to encourage others rather than correct them. Amen.
