Was running through my past entries when i chanced upon "The Self-Discipline Prayer"..here's the other part of the two prayer set i wrote back then..it was previously only published on my friendster blog (which i've ceased to update by the way!)..
"The Patience Prayer"
Lord grant me patience in all that i do
When people offend me, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
Offer them my love and understanding, i probably should
But you're the carpenter and we're just pieces of wood
And block-heads like us usually cannot think straight
Anger takes control before we realise our mistake
Through our impulse, we hurt both others and ourselves
And we realise afterwards, we'd have hurt you as well
Help us be patient with others as you have been with us
Help us learn to understand and not harbour mistrust
If people should offend me next time, i will know what to do
Smile and forgive because that's what the Lord will do
