Teach Us - Help Us - Bless Us
by Kristine Stanton © 2022Dear Lord,
Teach us to be humble
with every deed that's done.
Clothe us with compassion
that spreads to everyone.
Help us bear with others—
forgiving all they've done.
Fill our hearts with kindness
and love for everyone.
Bless us with Your mercy
and let Your Will be done.
Grant us gentle spirits
and peace for everyone.
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive one another
if any of you has a grievance against someone.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love."
(Colossians 3:12–14, NIV)
