A Prayer for Tuesday, January 29, 2013

Habits

Sometimes we develop bad habits—habits of motive, of attitude, of thought, of words, or of actions—that are not helpful to us or to anyone else and that may even be harmful.

Help us, O Lord, to identify such bad habits and, by the help of your Spirit, to move away from them and to give them up.

We recognize and acknowledge, though, that giving them up is not enough.

So help us, O Lord, to identify better habits and, by the help of your Spirit, to develop the discipline of practicing them so that we not only avoid the bad and destructive but do the good and constructive.

Amen.
