Path to Sanity

Taken from Path to Sanity: Lessons from Ancient Holy Counselors on How to Have a Sound Mind by Dee Pennock (Light & Life Publishing Company, 2010)

  • Lord Jesus Christ, deliver me from pride and give me self-knowledge.
  • Lord Jesus Christ, deliver me from self-justification and show me my sin.
  • Lord Jesus Christ, deliver me from self-love and vainglory, and give me love.
  • Lord Jesus Christ, deliver me from believing and obeying idols.
  • Lord Jesus Christ, deliver me from hatred of life and self-destruction.
  • Lord Jesus Christ, deliver me from anger and hatred, and give me love.
  • Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me and deliver me from willfulness; and bring me into accepting, desiring, and doing your will.
  • Every time someone else bothers you, ask, Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me and show me my sin.
