Dr. Ian Murphy: A Humble Prayer

Dr. Ian Murphy, Author and Speaker, shares a prayer that helps us keep things in perspective. Here is a copy of the prayer:

Lord God Almighty, you are sovereign. You are sovereign, Lord God Almighty.

In my backwards, disordered state, I find myself inclined to invite you into my day, In reality, it is not my
day, and what a peaceful relief that already is. It is your day; you are sovereign.

So I do not ask you into my day. Rather, I enter into the day the Lord has made, I rejoice, and I am glad in it.

I do not invite you into my time. Rather, you are the Author of time itself, and I gratefully exist upon the
temporal stage which you created for life. Thank you for the dignifying gift of time, and please guide me in
using it.

I do not ask, “What is your personal will for my life?” Rather, I ask, “What is the will of God, and where do
I fit in that picture?” Thank you for making me a part of your picture. I do not break your Law in a literal
sense whenever I sin. Rather, I break against it. Your Law remains perfectly intact.

I do not reenact the past in the gift of the Eucharist. Rather, I reencounter what is everpresent to you, in
thanksgiving for your love and grace.

You do not “suddenly show up again.” Rather, I come into view again of One who never abandoned me.

I do not fight for victory. Rather, I fight from it. Thank you for your triumph.

And I do not tell you how big the storm is. Rather, I tell the storm how big my God is.
