I pray the same thing every day. It helps me get myself off my high horse.
Please show me my mistakes. Forgive me for them. Thank you for your blessing, Lord.
May your will be mine. May your commandment of love be mine. And I want to help you serve it in everyday life.
That is habit becoming alignment. Every morning anew.
Someone asked me: If his will stands above yours – do you doubt? No. I hope that he overwrites my ego. Piece by piece.
And what is left of me then?
No idea. I don’t care.
That is relaxation. Without this grounding, I overestimate myself or feel small. Prayer is the ground on which I stay normal.
I see myself as both tool and work. He helps me work on myself and do my work better.
Peace in the individual leads to peace in us – and thus for the world.
