Heavenly Father, we need you so desperately. Please give us eyes to see this and the wisdom to bow before you, to cry out to you as our only true provider. Spare us from stupid pride that stretches up its head and says, “I can do this!” Spare us from the mindless ignorance that keeps us staggering along in the rut of our hopeless independence. Give us a heart of true humility and longing. Make us like children who ask you, our good Father, for bread, for all things. May hardships strengthen our dependence and love of you; may abundance flow into thanks and praise. We need you to transform us Lord, and so we come to you again and again to say, please make us like your Son.
Amen
