Today’s Reflection: Push My Buttons Prayer

Lord, it’s likely that sometime today
someone will push my buttons
challenge my good will
misread my intentions
tick me off
try my patience
rattle my cage
judge me in haste
test my kindness
or do all of the above…

Give me the grace I’ll need at such times
to respond with patience
to trust and accept
to listen carefully
to reach out in peace
to be fair and just
to anticipate goodness
in all my words and deeds…

I know this is a lot to ask, Lord,
but I need your help
to do for others
as I’d have them do for me. Amen. — Rev. Austin Fleming

Today’s Reflection: God, if we could only know how patient you’ve been with us, we’d be a little more understanding with others. Give us a sense of your serenity so we might share it with someone else today. Amen. — Joe Ertle, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Repeated in response to a request –

May you practice patience, forgiveness and failing that, silence. May you ignore nonsense and provocation.  May your coffee, your resolve and your wifi be strong and may you face challenges with humour, grace and chocolate when necessary and always notice the small moments of beauty. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: Opened a book and it opened to the page that has this prayer. It made my choice of today’s Reflection for me. Thank you, St. Teresa of Avila.
