This is My Prayer

Bless me, heavenly Father,
    forgive my erring ways,

Grant me strength to serve Thee,
    put purpose in my days ...

Give me understanding,
    enough to make me kind

So I may judge all people
    with my heart and not my mind ...

And teach me to be patient
    in everything I do,

Content to trust Your Wisdom
    and to follow after You ...

And help me when I falter
    and hear me when I pray

And receive me in Thy Kingdom
    to dwell with Thee some day.
