A Prayer for Monday, May 20, 2013

Free

We praise you, O God, for the great grace that led Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins; we praise you that in him we are set free from our sins and that in being set free from our sins we are set free to serve you freely.

We acknowledge, though, that we need to grow in both the reality of our freedom and in our awareness of our freedom; help us so to grow.

In particular, O God, help us to grow in freedom from pride that leads to self-centeredness and self-protection that we might be more and more free to serve you by serving others without self getting in the way.

Amen.
