Dear Lord

Dear Lord
Please give me strength today 
I need to be understanding of people
their actions and ways

Please help me to be compassionate
and me to see the entire picture and to truly love my enemies as you command us to 
do

I want to follow your example and be who you want me to be Lord.
Lead me not into temptation to be vengeful against those who have done me wrong, 
let me stand on my on accord

Keep me in your loving light away from the devil himself, he is always looking to 
prey
