Walk tall

One of the things readers particularly seem to value on this site, are excerpts from The Animal Lover’s Daily Prayer Book, so here’s another, this one focusing on the worth of all, including ourselves, and thus calling each one of us to walk tall.

Teach me, Lord, to stand tall,
in full assurance of my worth.
However ordinary I may be or average feel,
help me to respect myself,
recognising that you value me
as you value all.
Amen.
