O Lord, the prayer of the humble and the meek hath always pleased thee.
Judith 9:16
My God, I firmly believe that Thou art everywhere present and seest all things...cleanse my heart from all vain, wicked, and distracting thoughts. Enlighten my understanding, and inflame my will, that I may pray with reverence, attention, and devotion.
Reflect on the quote for a while. Read it over a few times. Sit quietly and consider this: What does a humble prayer sound like? How could your prayer be more pleasing to God? What does this quote mean to you and what can you learn from it?
Almighty and eternal God, I adore Thee, and I thank Thee for all the benefits which Thou, in Thy infinite goodness and mercy, hast conferred upon me.
Based on this reflection, I resolve to avoid: Pride
My God, I offer Thee these resolutions; unless Thou deignest to bless them, I can not be faithful to them.
