Lord, before I go into this meeting,
I still myself before you.
For you are filled with beauty and light,
and care deeply about me.
Help me to listen, before speaking.
Help me to fully understand these people,
before making my case.
Help me to value and appreciate the ones I am about to meet,
before thinking of my own concerns and anxieties.
May your light enfold me.
May your spirit guide me.
May your grace abound in me.
This is my prayer.

Amen.
