The Prayer of the Meek by S. I. McMillan MD. (1963)
Lord, keep me from becoming talkative and possessed with the idea that I must express myself on every subject.
Release Me From the craving to straighten out everyone's affairs.
Teach me the Glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.
Make me helpful but not bossy.
With my vast store of wisdom and experience, it does seem a Pity not to use it all--,
But thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the End. Amen.

Lord God, help us to be humble and slow to speak. Help us to first listen to You before we open our mouths.
