A short prayer for mid-day.

God, grant me patience with the people around me; the stupid, the smartassed, and the lazy. Give me grace to deal with those who store up their grievances so they can shoot them at people when they’re angry. And since you apparently won’t change anyone else, change me into a more loving person. More to the point, if you won’t stop throwing curveballs, at least give me a glove.

Also, remind me often that I’m all these things and more; that publican guy is me, just with a shorter prayer.

Help me to be brief.

Dan

    That’s a good prayer. Can I borrow it? I might need to use it from time to time as well. :-)

    coping with oneself… a lifelong battle, and I’m fighting blind.

    ya… i’m just pissy today… which makes me forget the weapons I’ve been given.

    I was wispering a few prayers myself at work today… I’m holding on to hope for tomorrow though. :)

    Maybe you’d like to clarify the weapons you’ve been given…for the sake of the male audience.

    they are unrelated to my pissy mood. :)
