O Lord, the sin of narcissism, pride and ambition that corrupted Lucifer into Satan is prevalent in the human family as the ego thrives on attention, recognition, applause and power. So long the ego thrives, the spirit cannot submit fully to Your lordship, will and love, leading to the struggle between “the carnal and spiritual natures” well described by Paul (Romans 7:14-25). I pray that you heal and protect me “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against the rulers of the darkness”. I also pray for peace and prosperity for myself and for all of us who have been hurt — weeping endures for a night – but joy comes in the morning. If we look to You to define my worth, I will never fall into self-deprecation or haughtiness. Indeed, You are the scale upon which I achieve balance, hallelujah!!! In your Son’s name, Amen.
