O Lord, let me be a pillar of strength to hold him up, and not a thorn in his flesh to sap his strength, nor a burden on his back to pull him down.

Let me support him without striving to possess him.

Let me lift his hands without placing shackles around them.

Let me give him help that he may devote more time to working for the salvation of others and less time in gratifying my vanity.

Let me work for him as the minister of all the members, and not compel him to spend precious time bragging about me.

Let me strive to be happy as he serves me less and others more.

Amen.
