Make me peaceful and reconcilable, easy to forgive, and glad to return good for evil. Make me like yourself, all kindness and benignity, all goodness and gentleness, all meekness and longsuffering. And, O Lover of souls, raise in me a compassionate zeal to save the life, the eternal life, of souls; and by affectionate and seasonable advice, exhortations, and reproof, to reclaim the wicked, and win them to your love. JOHN WESLEY
