Prayer for the Day - April 2015

[MajestyJo]

One day, Benjamin Franklin gave someone
a list of practical suggestions about
getting along with others. This is what
he wrote:

“The best thing to give your enemy
is forgiveness;
- to an opponent, tolerance;
- to a friend, your ear;
- to your child, good example;
- to your father, reverence;
- to your mother, conduct that will make
her proud of you;
- to yourself, respect;
- to all people, love.”

Let us pray:

Lord, give me patience and tolerance
with everyone.
Lord, show me
how to be kind and generous
to everyone.
Lord, help me
to live positively and cheerfully
for everyone.
Amen.
