About to go to bed at the end of a difficult day I did not want my spirit clouded by darkeness so I wrote out this prayer:
“God of Heaven; Make me mighty in spirit so I can inspire others to be mighty in spirit. I would like the gift of a robust spiritual appetite so I will grow into a man with a big, healthy soul. Never allow me to descend to flounder in the foul swamp of pettiness. Help me see beyond the sinfulness of the people around me. Help me to see people through the lens of their potential in Christ. Help me to visualize what people can become when Christ is formed in them. Help me not to see their brokenness and weakness as final, but to imagine them growing more and more like their Creator and their Savior until they are with Him in their glorified condition. Before I go to bed I want to thank you for your patience with me and ask you to give me patience with others. -In Jesus Name, Amen
