If I pray to be seen
I have fallen into outward pride
If I do it to prove myself to me
I have fallen into inward pride
Pride is hard to overcome
hard to see...
But if I pray humbly
and with repentance in my heart
I might make myself receptive
of the saving grace of God

Therefore pray, O my heart
without thanking God
for not making you like others
Pray, O my body
without wanting to be seen
Pray, O my mind
without proving yourself to me
while I kneel and beat my chest
you keep asking God for mercy
