Original Prayer

Dear Lord, Forgive me for my attitude towards other people. I get so synical and frustrated with a certain person, and I've developed a bad attitude toward her. I try not to let it show, and there really is no reason to have a bad attitude toward her. She is human, just as I am. She's a christian, and I do love her. Help me not to look at the small things she does that irritate me, help me to be patient, kind and loving, and forgive me that I have not been Father. Cleanse me of my bad mouth too, that spills over onto others, and spreads my bad attitude like a bad disease. Forgive me Father. I repent, and I will work at having a good attitude toward her, and others, whose small imperfections bug me. Help me to be loving and Christlike to all Lord! In Jesus name, I pray, amen.

1 Corinthians 13: 5 Love is patient and Kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs........ We all fall down and are expected to love one another, but when we submit to Christ and love hime more than our self, we learn to love others more.

Jesus, please help Mary in her struggles with her attitude and treatment of this other person in her life. Take the frustration and annoyance that is not of you out of her heart and fill it with patience and love that only you can give. Heal her and cleanse her of impure words, spoken or thought, so that she can witness for you and show others your love through her. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
