O Lord, our God, forgive us when our pride, arrogance, and self-centeredness keep us from turning to you in humble obedience and dependence. Forgive us when we get too full of ourselves and too big for our britches to realize that apart from you, we can do nothing. Forgive us when we fall in love with our own opinions and observations and stop listening to your voice and seeking your face. Forgive us when we begin to think that we can handle this life on our own, or make things happen for ourselves.
Humble us, O God, and remind us of who we are and of who you are, so that we might, once again, return to you with our whole hearts in prayer and self-surrender.
