Grant me, O Lord, the freedom from relying on my own intelligence and draw wisdom instead from You, and You alone. Let me learn to put aside my inclination to self-will, self- sufficiency and self- praise, and be enabled to partake of the humility of my Saviour Christ Jesus. Bring me to that state of knowing myself more through You to conquer any pride and pretense in me and of thinking of myself as better than others.

You know what we need even before we ask as our hearts' desires are never hidden from You and they are brought out to Your light. Grant that we may all be content and accepting of what we have and restrain our spirit from wanting more than what we really need. Prevent us from getting attracted to all that this world offers and to fix our gaze instead on the riches and richness of Your Kingdom. Let us not sell our souls to pursuits offered by the evil one, and things temporal and harmful to our souls. Let us direct our sight, with our mind and heart, on You and the eternal life You have planned for us and awaits us all, for Your sake, for Your honor, and for Your glory. In Jesus, Amen.

Enable us to set aside our ego, pettiness and self- importance and magnify You instead in our lives. Bestow upon us, and in

our hearts, the peace, understanding and harmony that Your Spirit can easily work in us in oneness with You, and for our common good. May we let go of our personal agenda and rise above ourselves in answer to Your divine call for us to love one another, in justice and fulfillment of our redemption.
