When I am irritable, remind me dust should not try to exalt itself above dust.
When I am restless, remind me that Your Silence cannot be outrun.
When I am discontent, remind me not to measure against shadows.
When I am frustrated, remind me I am critiquing Your handiwork.
When I am afraid, remind me Love endures fear, and will always see me through to the End.
When I am gluttonous, remind me no food fills the soul’s need, but overindulgence dulls the senses.
When I feel sorry for myself, remind me I am being written into the story by Love Himself.
When I want to admire myself, remind me I am not the source of worth, but a vessel of Love’s work in the world.
When I desire admiration, remind me the eyes of men cannot crown what only You complete.
Come Holy Spirit, come, make haste to my aid. When my mind floods with provocative images, remind me the storm must be endured for the stillness to be appreciated.
When I sin and fall short, remind me that mercy was written into the Cross before my failure ever came to be, and it waits to lift me back up
