Praying from 1 Corinthians 13:5. Themes: Love, Selflessness, Forgiveness

Dear God, please help me to love others in a way that doesn’t behave itself inappropriately. May I always seek to put others before myself and not seek my own way. Please help me to remain calm and not be easily provoked. May I not take account of evil, but instead choose to focus on the good in others. Thank you for your guidance and love. Amen.
