Self-Image in Christ

Discipline: I will begin each day affirming the balance God seeks in my self-image and pray not to be pulled in either direction. I will surrender my identity in my job back to God each day, refuse to play the owner, and take on the mantel of the steward of my position.

Prayer of the Steward Leader
Lord forgive my rush to perform that has distanced me from true intimacy with you;
Lord forgive the imbalance that I have allowed to take hold in my understanding of
who I am in you;
Lord forgive my use of relationships for my own means;
Lord forgive my poor use of time and my lack of care for your wonderful creation;
Grant me a heart that daily hungers and thirsts for authentic intimacy with you;
Help me see myself as you see me and give me deep contentment with that view;
Grant me a passion to love my neighbor and a willing heart to be present with them;
Grant me the wisdom to use my time, talents and resources to build your kingdom,
and the heart of a true steward of your beautiful creation.
In the name of the one who sets us free, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
