A Prayer for Thursday, June 20, 2013

Choices, Part 14

O God,

Help us today to choose reduction over increase.

Thank you that your love and grace constantly flow into us; help us to keep only what we need and to let the rest flow on through us to others who need it, too.

Keep us aware that we grow only through reducing ourselves by giving ourselves away; keep us aware that if we try to grow by keeping your love and grace for ourselves we will decrease.

Protect us against the attempt to increase by hoarding and protecting; lead us instead to grow by becoming smaller and to gain by giving ourselves away.

Help us today to choose reduction over increase.

Amen.
