A Prayer for Thursday, August 2, 2012

Lest

O God,

Help us to rest in the reality that we are made by you, lest we overvalue what we make.

Help us to rest in the reality that we are formed by you, lest we overvalue what we do.

Help us to rest in the reality that we are accepted by you, lest we overvalue what we accomplish.

Help us to rest in the reality that we are saved by you, lest we overvalue how we behave.

Help us to rest in the reality that we are known by you, lest we overvalue what we believe.

Help us to rest in you, lest we overvalue ourselves.

Amen.
