A Prayer to Be Like Jesus

1–2 minutes

To read

Lord help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray,
My prayer shall be for others.
Help me in all the things I do,
To ever be sincerely true,
And know that all I do for you
Must needs be done for others.
Others, Lord, yes others,
Let this, my motto be.
Help me to live for others,
That I might live for thee.

Just like Jesus—so it’s what we do.

Go make someone else’s day.
