i'm gonna borrow this from my sis:

EMPTY ME

Gracious and Holy One,
creator of all things and of emptiness.

I come to you full of much that clutters and distracts,
stifles and burdens me, and makes me a burden to others.

Empty me now
of gnawing dissatisfactions,
of anxious imaginings,
of fretful preoccupations,
of nagging prejuidices,
of old scores to settle,
and of the arrogance of being right.

Empty me
of the ways i unthinkingly
think of myself as powerless,
as a victim,

as determined by sex, age, race,
as being less than I am,
or as other than yours.

Empty me
of the disguises and lies
in which I hide myself
from other people and from my responsibility
for my neighbors and for the world.

Hollow out in me a space
in which I will find myself,
find peace and a whole heart,
a forgiving spirit and holiness,
the springs of laughter,
and the will to reach boldly
for abundant life for myself
and the whole human family.

Dearest Kuya Jess. Empty me so that YOU might enter me! Thank you for all the blessings. Please walk with me on my journey. Amen Lord Amen! BIL.
