Help me to value other people's opinions when I ask for them. Let me appreciate their wisdom and not take it for granted. Help me find the strength to follow their advice if it is good but challenging.
Help me to find the right words when I need them. Let me know what to say in a given moment and resist the urge to stay quiet. Help me to choose my words so that they have power behind them.
Thank you for the wisdom that comes with growing older. Help me to not stagnate and become stuck in my ways, but continue to evolve as I age. Help time to make me more useful as I age, and less reliant upon others.
Help me to look out for my colleagues less fortunate than me. Give me insight into their needs as life challenges them, and let me know what to say when they need words to heal or console them.
Help me to find opportunities when I desire change. Give me perspective as I look for ways to alter my status quo, resilience as I wait through my current situation, and wisdom to not behave impetuously.
