Motives
We praise you, O God, for all that goes into making us human; while we thank you for our physical nature and for our biological instincts, we also thank you that there is more to us than that, even as we struggle at times to deal with our complicatedness.
Keep us aware of what drives us, of what lies in our spirits and in our hearts that motivates us to have the attitudes we have, to make the decisions we make, and to perform the actions that we perform.
While we know that our motives will not be pure, we do ask that you would help us to grow today and every day a little bit more toward having motives that honor you and that respect others.
While we know that we will never eliminate our hypocrisy, we do ask that you would help us to grow today and every day a little bit more toward having integrity that causes our motives and actions to reflect one another honestly and consistently.
Amen.
