The Recovering Egotist’s Plea

Heavenly Father, I thank You and praise You for all You are! You are the Creator and Sustainer of all. There is nothing beyond Your grasp.

Your control.

Your abilities.

Your wisdom.

You.

I only know what I know, and that ain’t much.

I only see what I can see, and that’s neither far nor clear.

I only do what I can do, which is very limited.

I can’t know everything.

I can’t walk forward without running into obstacles.

I can’t make everything right.

Thank You, Lord… I don’t have to be perfect. I don’t have to stumble blindly through this life. I don’t have to fear my insecurities and troubles.

You, dear Father, are sovereign over all. You owe me nothing.

But I owe You everything. My very life.

Father, I lay down my ego, my fears and worries and doubts, my perceived “need” to be in control of my circumstances. Nothing happens without You knowing about it beforehand. Nothing is beyond your reach.

You call me not to figure it all out, but to trust You. To trust You with everything.

Everything.

And walk in Your light, without fear.

Fear nothing.

Fear no one.

For YOU, my Father – Abba – are omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent.

Your will be done, not mine.

Your wisdom, not mine.

Thank You, Lord God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Guide me in Your will, on Your path.

Amen.
