My salvation and my honor depend on God ...
Lord, it is a simple matter to trust You with my life, my salvation. You are trustworthy and Your love is unfailing. Oh, Father, how I struggle with the honor portion. Yet this is where the living to You and dying to me is played out - how I actually trust You with my props, my reputation, my "name" - my honor. I am sad that this is still an area where You must deal with me. God, help me not to love me so much; that I may be freed to love You more - more responsively, more audaciously, more publicly, more genuinely. Help me learn the art of self-forgetfulness. Make me a better reflection of You - which really means I have to get out of the picture frame. Oh, to know You and love You more. Please make it so, Holy Spirit. Grant me no rest, (even as I wish to rest now), as You cultivate that which will yield a life well-given to You.
