LIVING OUT LOUD

Deliver me, O Jesus, 
From the desire of being loved, 
From the desire of being extolled, 
From the desire to being honored, 
From the desire of being praised, 
From the desire of being preferred, 
From the desire of being consulted, 
From the desire of being approved, 
From the desire of being popular, 
From the fear of being humiliated, 
From the fear of being despised, 
From the fear of suffering rebukes, 
From the fear of being calumniated, 
From the fear of being forgotten, 
From the fear of being wronged, 
From the fear of being ridiculed, 
From the fear of being suspected. 
Amen.

~Mother Teresa~

I love this.

That which I desire

and

That which I fear the most.

Both can paralyze me

If I choose.

This is the ultimate

“death to self”.

This is my

Everyday

Morning Prayer.

Deliverance and Courage.
