Less

O God,

Show us how to get by on less—

--on less stress,
--on less anxiety,
--on less fear,
--on less anger,
--on less doubt,
--on less control,
--on less opinionating,
--on less self-righteousness,
--on less posturing,
--on less stuff,

and on less of anything else that gets in the way of our loving you with all we are and of loving our neighbors like we love ourselves.

Amen.
