Lord, you're the God of new beginnings and reboots,
clean slates and do-overs,
fresh starts and second chances
and this morning
- I need all of these!
Help me let go all the failed attempts,
dead ends,
jumped guns
and false starts
(on the wrong foot)...
Help me clear the decks of
yesterday's bad news,
last week's letdowns,
this month's setbacks
and all the ways all of these connect
to a string of disappointments
that are part of every life
and so, a part of my life, too...
The grace of a new beginning, Lord,
that's what I pray today...
I pray for fresh energy,
a fire in my belly,
a positive outlook,
trust in your Spirit,
and faith, deep faith,
that come what may, Lord:
all shall be well,
all shall be well,
all manner of things shall be well...
Amen.
