person,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">let me think of you first and always to look up to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">so that through you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I can better see the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord, as I look at the other person,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">let me ask you to be by my side<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">so that by your grace,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I can better listen to, carry and lift the other<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">in times of difficulty, stress and misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord, as I look at the other person,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I ask you to give me wisdom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">to understand why the other is anxious, uneasy, broken or lonely<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">and to see through the circumstances and situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And as I look at the other person,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">let my heart be pure, humble, yet full of love and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord, I beg you to shower the other<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">with your grace and to be filled with your holy spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It is only by your grace that the other will learn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">to turn to you and to trust you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">in every single thought,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">spoken word and action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord, as I walk with the other,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">kindly give me strength to keep my focus on you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">and to keep on holding tight to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It is only then, that I can better walk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">the uphills and downhills of life with the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And along the way, Oh Lord,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">please protect us all from evil and temptation, and keep us safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <span style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">&#8211;<\/span>
