Do you roll your eyes in frustration, Lord,
when I pay no attention to you, to your truth,
- not even to common sense?
Do you want to dope slap me, Lord,
when I miss the better, right choice to make
- when it's staring me right in the face?
Do you ever turn and walk away
when I, for the thousandth time,
make the same foolish, stupid mistake?
No, Lord, you don't...
Instead,
you show me time and again the things I've failed to see,
you look with compassion and mercy on me and all my folly,
you always, freely, pardon my sins and grant me a new beginning...
Patient, kind and compassionate Lord,
be gracious to me today - as you always are -
and help me grow in your grace...
Amen.
