A Prayer for Saturday, June 23, 2012

Are/Aren’t

Forgive us, O Lord, when we define ourselves only by what we aren’t—for when we think only in terms of “I’m not like that person over there or that person or that one or that one…”

Help us, O Lord, to define ourselves by what we are—consistently to seek to find and to develop our true identity and constantly to seek to discern your will so that we will think in terms of “I am this person right here…”

We pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus, the most completely self-aware person who ever lived.

Amen.
