SAVE ME

Save me from me
From pride when I am wealthy

Save me from my foolishness
From thinking that I can do anything by myself, when in fact I am powerless

Save me from greed and lust
From satisfying my flesh without counting the cost

Save me from religion
To think that routine attracts your presence in my opinion

Save me from selfishness
To always know that everything I have is yours and protect me from covetousness

Save me from slothfulness and mediocrity
From thinking that I have reached my peak and destiny

Save me from men
From ascribing your glory to me, a mere mortal, dust, not more useful than a pen

Save me from me, save me from flesh, save me!
