When I need it...

When I let the circumstances dictate my joy...
When I feel lonely in a crowd...

When I am right and others are wrong...
When I am wrong and others are right...

When I feel I am better than others...
When I am too weak to go on...

When I rebuke and discipline those under my authority...
When I lose patience with the ones I love...

When I take for granted the blessings around me...
When I fail again in my weakness...

When I let past mistakes and hurts poison my present...
When I let worries and doubts creep into today...

When I get caught up in trying to fulfill my own needs...
When I forget the importance of meeting others' needs...

When I am drowning in myself
When my flights are fueled by my ego

When guilt clouds my outlook
When forgiveness seems impossible to give

When I pursue vain accomplishments...
When I don't have time for those who matter...

When I neglect to spend time with my Creator...
When I forget what my Savior has done...
When I choose to stray from my Lord's plan...

... I need Grace.
