A Prayer from Psalm 131

Dear LORD, my heart is sometimes proud.
Help me to learn well that having a proud heart is of no good.
My eyes are at times raised too high.
Teach me how to always set my eyes on Your commandments.
Make me learn well that it is not good to be selfishly ambitious.
Let me not be preoccupied with things too marvelous for me.
For the secret things belong to You alone, O LORD [Deuteronomy 29:29].
Cause me instead to calm and quiet my soul, like a wean child with its mother.
Yes LORD, calm and quiet my soul like a wean child with its mother.
Make me hope in You today and always! For it is good to hope in You. Amen!
