Spiritual Practice
of the Day

I thank you Lord, for knowing me
better than I know myself,
And for letting me know myself
better than others know me.
Make me, I ask you then,
better than others know me.
Make me, I ask you then,
better than they suppose,
And forgive me for what they do not know.
— A Muslim prayer quoted in The Children's Book of Poems, Prayers and Meditations compiled by Liz Attenborough

To Practice This Thought: In a journal, write about what you know about yourself and what others know about you. Where is there room for improvement?
