Lord,
You know better than I, that I am
growing older.
Keep me from the habit of thinking I must say something on every subject.
Release me from craving to straighten out
everybody's affairs.
Make me thoughtful but not moody;
helpful but not bossy.
Keep me sweet, that I might have a few
friends at the end.
Keep from reciting endless details;
give me help to get to that point.
Seal my lips on my aches and pains - help me to listen to people who hurt.
I pray for a growing
humility when my memory seems to
fail.
Teach me the glorious lesson
that occasionally I may be mistaken.
Keep me reasonably sweet and easy to live with.
Give me the ability to see good
things in people and places.
Amen
