02.01.03 Spirituality: Prayers: Humbling the Ego

Master, allow me to submit
to your power, authority and love.
A simple slave kneels before you
in eager anticipation of ownership.

From the desire of being honoured, free me.
From the desire of being praised, free me.
From the desire of being approved, free me.
From the desire of being preferred, free me.
From the desire of being consulted, free me.

From the fear of being lost, free me.
From the fear of being neglected, free me.
From the fear of being wronged, free me.
From the fear of being rebuked, free me.
From the fear of being discarded, free me.

For it is through freedom that my slavery will grow.
For it is through denying my ego that my slavery will grow.
For it is through seeking humility that my slavery will grow.
For it is by submitting to your will that my slavery will grow.

Master, help me face my fears and embrace my new reality,
as I learn and grow in your image to follow your way.
