I cannot be the person I am supposed to be.
Why not?
What holds me back?
Can it be anything but greed?
Can it be anything but me wanting more for me than others have?
Can it be anything other than my desire to horde all good things,
Even you,
For myself?
Lord, take away my vanity that tells me I deserve more than others,
Or that I want you to give me more,
And simply teach me to live,
Using a small enough amount of what I have,
So that I can help meet others’ needs.
Amen.
