Thanks for the ping. I think I will pray this Litany every day when I start back to work in September. I worry constantly about a very negative, critical co-worker and this prayer gets to the heart of the matter. The lines regarding fear are especially meaningful.
Lord, my desire to be liked and approved of, and my fear of being criticized, show a lack of faith and trust in You. Help me to grow in my faith and humility.
To me this Litany is so convicting! Which, I hasten to add, is a good thing. I am SO wrapped up in what others think of me it’s pathetic. To confront my failure truly to put all my hope in God is bracing. I know more and more what to pray for.
