A Prayer for Identity

"Freedom in Christ is freedom to become nothing.” _Dr. Craig Keen

Jesus,
In you I am loved, valued, even precious.
Help me to find my identity in you.
In you I am free to become nothing important and still be beautifully good.
Help me to exercise that freedom.
In you I am grasped by a purpose and a people.
Help me to fulfill that purpose with your people.
In you I am forgiven and blameless.
Help me to stop holding my sins against myself.
In you I am strong enough to show my weakness.
Help me to find my true strength in you.
In you I am...
Just what I need to be
Help me to be me!
Amen.
