Give me the grace
to care
without neglecting my needs,
the humility
to assist
without rescuing,
the kindness
to be clear
without being cold,
the mercy
to be angry
without rejecting,
the prudence
to disclose
without disrespecting my privacy,
the humor
to admit human failings
without experiencing shame,
the compassion
to give freely, fully,
without selfish ambition or pride.
——
In your anger do not sin…
Be kind and compassionate to one another,
Ephesians 4: 26,32
From Heaven at my Door by Juanita Ryan
