Prayer for Monday

Keep us, O God,

from all pettiness.

Let us be large in thought,

in word, in deed.

Let us be done

with fault-finding

and leave off all self-seeking.

May we put away all pretense

and meet each other face to face,

without self-pity

and without prejudice.

Grant that we may realize that

it is the little things of life that

create differences, that in the

big things of life we are as one.

And, O God,

let us not forget to be kind.

- Mary Stewart
