As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
-Eckhart Tolle
Dear Lord may I never become bitter
May I never become jaded with the sadness of life
May those around me never feel the need to walk on eggshells
and never fear my reaction to inconsequential mistakes
I pray I will always be kind towards others
That my patience will endure the most difficult of situations
I pray that if I come to hate my job so much, I'll quit
and that I will do so with dignity.
That I will not infect others with resentment.
That I will not color facts with feelings
or manipulate truth with resentment
That I remain open and loving,
though I may be seen as naive
And that my words be steeped in kindness
and my actions honest and consistent
I pray I make for myself an identity out of joy
and a life transformed by love.
