The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, sometimes I do the same mean things I get mad at others for. I say something hurtful. I leave someone out. I do not even notice I am being mean. Show me where I have been unkind today. Not to crush me. Just to clean me. Forgive me. Help me try again. I want to see the truth about myself, not just think I am always right. Amen.
