Today I ask, O Father, that I may be an encourager,

that I may find some glimmer of promise

which I may encourage to grow:

Grant me the strength to be generous

in my words of commendation.

Give me the perceptiveness and the insight

to respond to thoughts that may touch the heart,

as well as the mind. —Walter MacPeek
