You Who Give Sleep to Your People, Keep Us From Delusions of Self-Sufficiency and Autonomy

A prayer based on Psalm 127

Our Father, you who give sleep to your people, keep us from delusions of self-sufficiency and autonomy. Help us to embrace our creaturely limitations rather than being ashamed of them. Teach us the joy of daily dependence on you, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
