my prayer today

Glorious God of power and majesty, you bow down to hear our every sigh;

deliver us from arrogance and empty vanities. Prevent us from trying to

raise ourselves by lowering the position of others. Cast down our pride

that we may grow in humility. Take away the barriers of self-defense;

grant us the firm security that comes from trust in you and is built with

neighborly cooperation and mutual respect. Lead us in the lowly steps of

Jesus until we attain the end of a pure joy and eternal victory, through

Christ, our servant and sovereign. Amen.†
