A Prayer for Unselfishness
The following is a prayer from my heart for God to make me less selfish.
Lord, I want what I want, and I want it now
I want to be comfortable
And I want to be happy
I sometimes act like it's all about me
I like my independence
But I love my freedom
Even so, I know that You have more for me...
Teach me to care about the needs of others
To notice how I can share
Give me companionship to celebrate my successes,
A listening ear to hear my struggles,
And a friendly hand to pick me up when I fail
Remind me that my agenda isn't yours
That interruptions are often hidden blessings
Open my eyes, my hands, and my heart
Show me how to live with people that are not like me
In short, show me how to live as a member of your Kingdom.

I'm about half-way through it's been reminding me so much of your post that I just wanted to share.
Victor...good to see you, as always, at the siete de mayo party last weekend. We had a great time. I like what you write, "Remind me that my agenda isn't yours." Thanks for the good word. hans
