That hence shall be our world;
And there Well sit down side

A PRAYER AGAINST
DISCUSSING OURSELF

Lord, I crave to be genuine. I'm
not the fortnight person | ought to
be. Too much l proceed on policy
of concealment. | stink through the
world, masking the self that's in
side me-
It's troublesome thing, this bust
ness of forever playing a part. 1t
takes up time and energy that 4
ought to put to other uses. Besides,
it is foolish; in the long run mas
queraders are found out. You know
man as he is-you, Searcher OF
Hearts, the Undeceived, ever at gaze
within. Your eye is detective
through all counterfeitings, all sub
terfuges. And you laugh at our
pretentiousness in trying to appear
other than what We are
Therefore, o Lord that sees every
thing, shame me cut Of my falsity,
this duplex condition wherein l am
one thing inside and another thing
outside. Embolden me to make my
outward seeming agree with inner
reality; for there is nothing that
can be hid, since you are you; and
your scrutiny none may evade. Go
into the windings and hiding places
of my heart, and burn up everything
that | would rather the world did
not see, so that l shall not need
screens and cloakings; but may in
vite every eye to penetrate me.
Then l shall go joyously. Cant
and humbug will be far from me.
Saved from duplicity, l will show to
the world the strength that is in
sinrle-heartedness And men will
see in me your handiwork, God OF
Commences that relishes truth in
the inward parts. Amen.-Bouck
White.
