A Prayer of Patience

Lord I pray for patience, I pray for compassion, I pray for kindess.  Lord men's arrogance will be there undoing, they are so lost in there own "rightness".  How foolish it is that they believe they know how everything should be.   Only you know everything's proper place.  Please keep me humble, I fear to fall into the trap of self-righteousness and arrogance.  Keep destroying my pride.  I pray for compassion against the anger that is building in my heart.  Give me opportunities to remain humble and kind.  Each day is a blessing you alone give, may I not waste it with selfish thoughts and pride.  Keep my priorities in you strong, for through you all things are possible.
