You are calling on me to be completely humble and gentle, to be patient, bearing with others in love (Eph4). Help me to live in harmony with others, be sympathetic, love as a sister, be compassionate & humble (1Pet3). Help me to slander no one, to be peaceable & considerate, and to show true humility toward all people (Titus3). Help me to clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness & patience (Col3). Help me to look not only to my own interests but also to the interests of others. Please give me Jesus’ attitude, Who poured Himself out for those who didn’t deserve it (Phil2).

“I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name – the name that you gave me – so that they may be one as we are one. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one. Father, just as you are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” – Jesus
