Dear Lord, please help us to avoid being conceited and instead seek knowledge and wisdom. May we not be obsessed with arguments and disputes, but rather strive for peace and understanding. Help us to avoid envy, strife, insulting behavior, and evil suspicions. May we always seek to build each other up and show love and kindness towards one another. Amen.
