Lord, help my piety to be a response to your grace, and not an impulse of my guilt.
Help my works to be an outflowing of gratitude, and not a begrudging effort to win your approval.
Help my faith to be a profound confidence in your word, and not an invention of my expectations for your intervention.
Help my love to be a response in kind to your compassion and glory, rather than an extension of weak human passion.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Amen!
