Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory;
rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
Lord, deep down I want to be the person you intended me to be. I want to be content with who I am, how you have made me, and where you have put me.
Free me to become that person. Forgive me for trying to be anything other than what you intend. Remind me of the gifts you have given me, and show me how to begin to use them in a way that pleases you.
Lead me in your peace, free me from the discontent of striving and the torment of thinking that I must know more, understand more, seek more, and do more just to please you. I will be happy to receive what you offer me in prayer, in Scripture, and in your Church.
I want to be content with who I am, how you have made me, and where you have put me.
