Dear God, I think mostly of myself. How I will get ahead, how circumstances affect me, how I can be happy. Such a narrow pursuit, such a flawed outlook.
Lord, grant me a better attitude. Let it be my mission to improve conditions for all those around me. Let me not think of myself so much. Let me place the well-being of others ahead of my own selfish considerations.
Thy will be done.
(Letter #1099)
