The Tolerance Prayer
The Tolerance Prayer
Lord, give me tolerance toward those whose thoughts and ways in life conflict with mine. For though I would, I cannot always know what constitutes the absolute truth. Other people may be right while I may be all wrong, yet unaware.
Lord, make my motives right, for only this can ease my conscience when I sometimes err.
Lord, give me tolerance, for who am I to stand in judgment on another person’s mistakes? No one knows better than my inward self how many little blunders I have and can make.
Life is full of stones that somehow trip us, and meaning not, we all stumble now and then.
Lord, give me tolerance, for only you are rightly fit to judge my fellow travelers…
