Give us grace today, O Lord. Help us to be merciful to those who
need mercy. Help us to be kind to those who need kindness.
Help us to be gentle with those who need gentleness.
Help us to be generous with those who need generosity.
Help us to be forgiving to those who ask for forgiveness.
Help us to be more like You. Amen.

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your
Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom
of God and all these things shall be added to you.
Luke 12:30-31
