A Prayer

Lord, help us not to be proud of our humility. Let us lose ourselves in finding the greatness in others; let us be so consumed with others' comfort that we forget to seek our own; help us so concern ourselves with the rights of even our enemies that we cease to see them as such. Let us stand so firmly for others' dignity, and kneel down so often at the feet of the least of our brethren in service, that we fail to notice when anyone steps on our toes. Forgive us for being so far from these ideals, but help us forget ourselves in striving so hard to see You.
