August 19, 2011


Lord God,

Humans are so ego-centric.

We think of ourselves as the crowning glory of your creation.

We think of ourselves as just lower than you,

Just lower than your heavenly beings.

We often, perhaps always think of ourselves more highly than we ought.

We have reason,

Therefore, we think we can match wits and logic with you.

We have power,

Therefore, we imagine ourselves as only slightly less powerful than you

And gaining on you daily.

Help us to end our folly.

Help up to see ourselves

From your perspective,

So that we can see not how low we are,

But how great you are.

Amen.
