Work in Progress

Prayers - Request Prayer

By Ruth Williams

Work in Progress

Sometimes I wonder what I can teach my children.WorkInProgess-Prayer
I can't even help with homework anymore.
Then, when I think they’re not listening,
I realize they’ve picked up my bad habits.

Make me aware of my impact.
Let me see through Your Jeweler's glass
the gem I will be and not the rough edges and flaws.
Count to ten for me before
I open my craw with a cutting comment.

Help me apply the Golden Rule,
especially in my own home,
starting from the heart and spreading exponentially.
Give me good qualities and soothing words,
and bless me with a legacy of kindness.
