Remove & Replace
O God,
Remove from us any motives and
attitudes that get in the way of our loving
you and loving people as we should.
Remove from us
pride,
envy,
anger,
self-centeredness,
fear, and
greed.
But don’t just remove such negative
motives and attitudes from us.
Replace them with the kinds of attitudes
and motives that will cause us to love
you with all we are and to love our
neighbors like we love ourselves.
Replace them with
humility,
contentment,
selflessness,
compassion,
generosity,
love,
grace, and
mercy.
Fill us with those realities that will
help us to be full human beings
who are truly your children.
Amen.
