Prayer: Give me the grace to see the world as you see it

Lord, give me the grace, even if only for a little while during corporate or private worship, to catch a glimpse of the world as you see it. In my judgments, help me to measure others and myself as you judge me. In my condemnations of others and myself, make me to love the things that you love and to loathe the things that you despise. Give me that vision that is able to see your presence in the little things of life, to wonder at the sacred worth of those people whom the world considers lowly and worthless. Help me, even for just a little while in my private and public worship, to think as you think, to see as you see, and to judge as you judge. Amen.
