Good morning, good God!
Got a couple of things I'd like to lose, Lord,
things I'd really like to leave behind,
nothing new here - same old stuff...
I'd like to let go of:
- pet peeves serving no purpose
other than indulging my personal taste
- persistent resentments
burdening my relationships
- unhealthy patterns and behaviors
undermining my well-being
- a selfish streak
hedging my generosity
- long-held grudges reinforcing my stubborn pride
- hurt feelings
feeding my self-pity
- a couple of bad habits
keeping me from growing up
- biased opinions
keeping me from the truth
- procrastination
impairing my effectiveness
- mindless foolishness
getting me nowhere - fast...
Yup!
That's what I'd like to lose,
leave behind and let go of, Lord
- but because I have a hard time doing this -
I'm offering you this morning
my desire to be free of these things
and my prayer for the strength I need
to let them go
and make room in my life for you,
for your grace
and for all those you call me
to love and serve...
Amen.
