Yesterday, a friend wrote me about wanting to make some personal changes in his life. Our conversation reminded me of a few things I'd like to change in my life - and that reminded me of a prayer I once posted - on wanting to change. After some further work, this new version comes this evening....
I really want to change -
so, help me, God!
And because I find change hard,
I pray, Lord, that you would:
challenge my nonsense
with caution and wisdom...
correct my mistakes
with your words of truth...
stir to life
what I've failed to nurture...
kick my butt
when I'm slow to move...
inspire me
when my mind's grown dull...
flood my heart
with a river of peace...
illumine my darkness
with the light of hope...
strengthen my weakness
with sinews of grace...
encourage me
when I'm afraid...
raise me up
when I'm feeling down...
calm me down
when I'm anxious and nervous...
lift me up
when I've fallen down...
heal my heart
with mercy and kindness...
map out a path
that leads me to you...
make me the person
you call me to be...
I really want to change -
so, help me, God!
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake,
watch over me while I sleep,
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
