Daily Prayer

God, You are the One and the Only. Creator of all things, there is none like You. You are the Beginning, the End. And the Middle. No one, ever, should sit on Your throne. Especially not me.

I keep trying to rule my life, but usually when I do, I let some pretender, some false god, take charge. At last, I know that You are Lord and Savior of all. Lord and Savior of me. Now I follow You. You alone. You always. You are God.

Amen
