The Litany of Humility
Today we have a simple prayer. Simple, but not easy (sort of like following Jesus).
Take some time with this prayer and see what you can pray honestly. See which lines are harder to pray honestly. Talk with Jesus about it all.
The Litany of Humility
From putting my career before the people in my life, deliver me.
From distracting myself from life, deliver me.
From my drive to be superior to others, deliver me.
From the allure of the world’s empty promises, deliver me.
From my feelings of professional superiority, deliver me.
From allowing my pride to supplant my love, deliver me.
From the pains of withdrawing from my addiction, deliver me.
From the dread of falling into decline and being forgotten, deliver me.
