Midweek Meditation"Prayer for Humility" (William Barclay)
O Father, give us the humility which
- Realises its ignorance,
- Admits its mistakes,
- Recognizes its need,
- Welcomes advice,
- Accepts rebuke.
Help us always
- To praise rather than to criticize,
- To sympathize rather than to condemn,
- To encourage rather than to discourage,
- To build rather than to destroy,
- And to think of people at their best rather than at their worst.
This we ask for Thy Name's Sake. Amen.
(William Barclay, 1907-1978)
