A prayer I liked from a pastor that encourages me...


Teach us, Father, to be selfless. Wherever people suffer, may we be there to comfort. Wherever people struggle, may we be there to help. Wherever people fall, may we be there to lift them up. Wherever people succeed, may we be there to celebrate. Teach us that we cannot be self-consciously self-forgetful. We cannot be selfishly oriented. Teach us to walk humbly as Christ walked, to walk the path of self-sacrifice is to walk the path of glory. May we learn that. And know, Father, too, may those who don't know the Lord see in His humiliation the abounding love and be drawn to Him. We praise You, Lord, for the gift of Your Son.
