Lord, remind me…
When I complain about being cold in my house, remind me to pray for those who have nowhere to live.
When I complain about having nothing nice to wear, remind me to pray for those who don’t have many clothes at all.
When I complain about being fat, remind me to pray for those who do not have enough to eat.
When I get angry about stupid people on the internet, remind me to pray for them, if only so that they might get smarter. 🙂
When I complain about missing my friends and family, remind me to be thankful that I have friends and family to miss.
Remind me that however bad things are, they could be worse.
Remind me that however bad things are, You are still there with me.
When I feel far from You, remind me that your presence and caring for me is not contingent on my being able to feel You.
Whatever I forget, remind me. Just…remind me.

Thanks. And a prayer that helps me, esp. with family at times, “Bless_____________, change me.”
