Saving Grace

Prayers - Spirituality Prayer

By Ruth Williams

Saving Grace

WSavingGraceNow that I’ve been the recipient of grace,
please give me a gracious spirit.

Remind me that I’m not omniscient
and can’t know what life is like for anyone else.

Put me on notice that I’m not a judge on a tribunal
ticking off each little sin and magnifying it.

Tell me that I’m not there
when they need comfort or consolation
and I surely have no right to tell others how to live.

But You are all of this and more, not just for me.
Let me reflect what’s right and true,
refine me as I represent You.
