Paul S. Waugh’s Daily Prayer – A Prayer of Repentance and Surrender from the Ego into God’s Presence – Dec 8, 2025

Good evening everyone,

Here’s today’s Daily Prayer:

Father, we thank You, we really, really thank You for the clarity for where we are, Your blessings, we are so undeserving. You know—and I say that because where we know we’re undeserving is maybe 1% of 1%. We don’t even know where we’re undeserving. But I’ll tell You what I do know: I know that 99.999% of where I’m undeserving, I don’t know about, but I know it’s there. I know it’s there. I know it’s there. Just like I’ve always known You were there. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I’ve always known You were there—outside of any religion, any denomination, any church, any book, including the Bible. I’ve always known You were there, and I’ve always had that intuition.

So Father, we pray for the week ahead. How can we take this whole experience and everything we’ve learnt here and help everyone else who is being picked on by the state or picked on by anybody, and held before a government body, a weaponised agency, or the police—a weaponised agency—or a court—a weaponised agency—or whatever it may be?

How can we help others from this? How can we take this experience and help others? How can we do this in Your glory? Because it is glorious. And because in Your grace, the most profound things have happened that demonstrate not only Your reality and Your presence, but Your love—Your love and Your gloriousness. Because, Father, with all due respect, I no longer have anything to boast about in me.

My ego has shrunk right down to the smallest it’s ever been. Not any ego—we’re talking about the… we’re talking about the… forget the word now, man. What’s the word? Um…

Diabolical. There we go. I’m just tired, sorry, Father. Diabolical ego. It’s shrunk to almost—well—very, very small. Very little. I can’t help others with that process. Because the more the diabolical ego goes out the window, the more self-evident You are.

The only thing in the way between human beings and You is the diabolical ego. It’s the only thing in the way. The only thing in the way is that. When that goes, to the degree it goes, only You are left. So, you know, the fight for the ego…

The fight for the diabolical ego is the preserve of atheism, for example, and everything in between—atheism, agnosticism, or weak Christianity. These people are fighting not to hit rock bottom, which is: they’re fighting their ego. And rock bottom comes in many forms, Father, as You know. Rock bottom isn’t like, you know, you’re smashed on the ground and never to recover. In many ways, just spiritual grace and humility are enough to get you to a certain place of rock bottom, where you have ground zero of diabolical ego. That’s what that is. It doesn’t have to be devastating every time. It doesn’t have to be. But it’s shocking every time. It doesn’t have to be devastating every time. Rock bottom isn’t always devastating. It’s just very, very real—very, very true. Shocking. Shocking, but never—not as in my case and many others’ cases—devastating many times over. As You know, Father, I fought for my diabolical ego viciously—viciously, ruthlessly fought for it. Anyway, by Your grace here we are.

So Father, I leave this prayer with You on one knee, bowed, with bended head—bowed head and bended knee. We repent.

We repent, my Lord. We repent. We pray this through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for Your love, and please receive ours.

Amen.

God’s grace to you,

Paul S. Waugh
