Prayer is one action where I lay aside my abilities to immerse myself wholly in God’s capabilities. And the liberation found in such an action is less about being engaged with God and more about being freed from myself.

If I am indeed my own god, I’d better start praying to myself to get myself out of myself.

To embrace an attitude of humility is to free myself from myself. And that is likely the great liberation of all.

If I were to sit down and count them, how many of my prayers were tainted by the seduction of greed? None, simply because nothing of that sort is a prayer.

If it has anything to do with me, it has nothing to do with sacrifice.

One of the greatest lies is to believe that we don’t have value. One of the greatest mistakes is to act on that belief. And the greatest liberation is found in looking at the cross of Christ and realizing the enormity of the lie.
