The Set Aside Prayer
God, today help me set aside everything I think I know about you,
– Anonymous
everything I think I know about myself,
everything I think I know about others,
and everything I think I know about my own life
so I may have an open mind and a new experience with all these things.
Please help me see the truth.
Amen
