Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.    

Psalm 115:1

Our Daily Light meditation closed, this morning, with this affirmation.  I was taken back a bit when I considered what the Psalmist was saying.  What is the center of my prayers?  To be honest, my prayers tend to be mostly centered around my needs.  I am startled when I see that this is not the substance of the prayers that should be on my lips constantly.  My prayers are a response to God’s love and faithfulness, two virtues that are not my long suit.  I can not produce these virtues, nor even imitate them.  They are in the heart of God.

Love.

Faithfulness.

Lord, increase my desire to make this the center of my prayers.
