Help! A prayer for perspective

Help! I need a prayer for perspective.

Lord God,

Help me to hope in you,

not control things around me.

Help me to trust you,

not to compare my life to everyone around me.

Help me to forgive,

not resent and judge those who’ve hurt me.

Help me to give,

not hoard your favor,

your redemption

your grace,

your gifting,

or your provisions.

Lord, help me.

I am weak,

but in you I can be strong.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:10)

“We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.” (2 Corinthians 13:9)
