Dear God, grant me an unsparing eye. Let me look at myself, my actions, my intentions without illusion.
Let me see all the ways, moment by moment, that I am driven by pride, selfishness, self-pity, sloth.
Let me welcome this clarity and see each instance as a chance to practice humility, generosity, acceptance, diligence.
Under this strong sunlight, Lord, let me thrive.
(Letter #1465)
