Our Request to Baba

[Guest guest]

This article/prayer I found on other website. It is so

very simple but important to learn "SABURI" i.e.

patience with others that I want to share with you all

and request BABA to grant us "SABURI" in our daily

life.

Help Us

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in

traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine

hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner,

help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few

precious moments with her children.

 

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed,

disinterested young man who can't make change

correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student,

balancing his apprehension over final exams with his

fear of not getting his student loans for next

semester.

 

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging

for money in the same spot every day (who really ought

to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can

only imagine in our worst nightmares.

 

Help us to remember that the old couple walking

annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking

our shopping progress are savoring this moment,

knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back

last week, this will be the last year that they go

shopping together.

 

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the

gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is

not enough to share that love with those we hold dear.

Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us,

but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick

to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
