Dear God, I am preoccupied with thinking about myself. As I consider the day’s circumstances, I am focused entirely on how I will feel, what I will do, what my reactions will be. I am the center of this imaginary universe.
Lord, let me see I have a role to play in a story you have created. It is an ensemble. I am only one of many players. Let me honestly seek what you would have me do.
I so easily mouth the words, “Thy will be done,” but do I really mean them? Too often the answer is no. Today let it be yes. Today let me be a carrier of your message and a seeker of your will.
(Letter #896)
