The most conspicuous element in these prayers is that God rules. Confidence coupled with humility develops out of this kind of praying. If God is in charge,
then I'm not. I live in the confidence that God is either doing it or allowing whatever is going on, and also in the confidence that I am included in his rule.
My participation is part of it.
How do we develop humility – being just who we are, no more and no less – brimming with energy, risking life, a person who runs, not plods, in the way of God's commandments? When we follow Jesus, that's what we do – and we pray prayers like this prayer, which gradually and steadily internalizes and embodies a robust confidence in God's rule and a relaxed acceptance of our humanity.
