A Prayer for Saturday, September 10, 2016

Prone

O God,

We are prone to think in certain ways. Help us become prone to think in other, better ways.

We are prone to hold grudges; help us become prone to forgive.

We are prone to be apathetic; help us become prone to care.

We are prone to ignore; help us become prone to notice.

We are prone to reject; help us become prone to accept.

We are prone to judge; help us become prone to understand.

We are prone to assume; help us become prone to evaluate.

We are prone to worry; help us become prone to trust.

We are prone to despair; help us become prone to hope.

We are prone to keep; help us become prone to give.

We are prone to be proud; help us become prone to be humble.

We are prone to protect ourselves; help us become prone to be vulnerable.

We are prone to be selfish; help us become prone to be selfless.

Amen.
