Holy One, Keep Us from Taking Ourselves Too Seriously: An Opening Prayer

Holy One, keep us from taking ourselves too seriously. 
By your grace, you set us free from the illusion that we are in control of everything we are part of. 
Help us to shed our worries and fears and to take up your gift of a light heart and a joyful spirit. Amen.
