Grace: A Prayer

Lord,
Help me to remember grace,
May I be all grace for my neighbor.
May I not concern myself with only myself.
May I only walk in your grace
Doling out that grace to others, not in fear
Rather in faith; not putting my expectations in others,
But in expectation of you and of your great love for me,
Living a surrendered life. 

May I be done with looking for people
To fulfill my needs; may my needs be fulfilled in you,
Alone.

Lord, help me to do my job well;
that is, my work as a husband and father and teacher
and brother; as son and friend.

Oh Lord, make me fit to lead others into your Kingdom of Grace.
Amen
