A Prayer for Thursday, September 20, 2012

Less

Help us to grow in grace today, O Lord, that we might focus less on

our wants,
our needs,
our fears,
our problems,
our worries, and
our frustrations.

Help us to grow in grace today, O Lord, that we might focus less on ourselves.

We recognize, though, that it is not enough to grow toward less self-centeredness; we recognize the need to grow toward greater awareness of you and greater concern for others.

So even as you lessen our focus on ourselves, replace it with a greater focus on your will and on other people’s needs.

Amen.
