Understanding

As I stand at the top of the stairs and look down I can see all before me, yet when I am right in front of something I can not detect what it is. God help me to know and feel and see what it is that makes others angry. Bless me to persevere, give me the strength to walk the mile, to stand up for what I believe and to lie down when I know I am wrong. Grant me these things Dear God for with this knowledge; I feel I can overcome any obstacle.
