Help me to provide hearth when I can to those that need it. Let me find what I can share when others could use it. Help me to reserve judgment about their situation when it's none of my business.
Thank you for friends that love me for who I truly am. Help me to follow their example in being less conditional in my love. Let me love others without my own preconceptions.
Help me to take a chance on new friendships. Let me purge my presuppositions and prejudices towards people different from me. Help me see the value in allowing new people into my life.
Help me to not make unnecessary generalizations. Let me give people, situations, and other concepts a chance to show what they are. Help me to be tactful when generalizations seem true and not let it validate my assumptions.
Let me find the strength to speak up for myself. Help me find the self esteem to share my feelings when necessary. Let me find a safe place to speak up when I do not have one.
Help me to not hold superficial details against people. Let me base my decisions on what is actually important. Help me to be generally less concerned with aspects that don't have any affect on my own life.
Help me to reserve my judgment towards people I don't know. Let me not base my assessment of people on the judgements of others. Help me be patient until I know who someone truly is.
Help me to not fall into the trap of stereotypes. Help me to keep this true for my perceptions of others as well as myself. Let me learn who a person is from their actual behavior.
