Monday Morning Offering: 1/11

  Image: George Mendoza

Good morning, good God!

My offering today is threefold:

  my mind, my heart and my mouth...

 

I offer you my mind, Lord:

   call it to attention,

   open it wide, air it out,

   order its contents,

   fill it with good thoughts,

   infuse it with wisdom

   and prepare me to engage

      thoughtfully and prayerfully

   with all I know and meet...

 

And I offer you my heart: 

   open it wide, sweep it clean, 

   heal its wounds,

   mend its broken parts,

   smooth its rough edges;

   teach me to lead with my heart, Lord,

   and sync its rhythm 

      to beat as one with yours

   in my prayer, my words and my deeds...

 

And I offer you my mouth, Lord:

   keep it closely connected

   to my mind and heart!

Let my mind stand guard

   at the door of my lips

and my heart be the source 

   of all my words...

Especially in these times, Lord,

keep my mind clear and my heart pure:

   open my lips every day

   and my mouth shall sing your praise!

 

Amen.
