Below is a prayer I rediscovered today. One that impacted me last summer and continues to find me.
"Today I still long so much for honour. I am so pleased with myself, so rooted in my nature. I am pleased when others often ask for my opinion, when I am made to feel I am needed, when people know that I am clever, talented, and popular. I am glad when I am friends with everyone, when I can share with others what is in my heart, when I can shine.
But Lord Jesus, you were a servant of all. Today I surrender all desire to be great, I renounce all pleasure I take in being important. Help me never to take pleasure in the things that do not please you."
A prayer of Basilea Schlink
May this prayer find all of us in the obscurity of our faith and lives. May it remind us that life is only found in Christ.
