Father God, help us to have the faith, love and trust of a little child. And rather than comparing ourselves with others to see how we measure up, let us instead seek to serve as Jesus served, not seeking honor or fame or praise, but seeking only to serve in humility and love. Father, You have forgiven us so much! We fall short every day, and You have already forgiven us not only of our past sins, but of our present and future sins as well. Help us, Father, to walk in that same spirit of forgiveness toward our fellow man, not holding grudges, not bringing up past failures, but freely forgiving, because we have been freely and completely forgiven. Amen
