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.

Muslim Prayer in The Children's Book of Poems, Prayers and Meditations 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?
