Coffee in the Morning by G. Mendoza |
Good morning, good God!
Today, Lord, I offer you:
the hurt in my heart
most in need of your healing...
the confusion in my mind
most in need of your counsel...
the scenes in my imagination
most in need of your cleansing...
the sin in my soul
most in need of your mercy...
the duplicity in my dealings
most in need of your justice...
the foolishness in my words and deeds
most in need of your wisdom...
the lies in my speech
most in need of your truth...
the selfishness in my envy
most in need of your humility...
the anger I hold on to
most in need of your forgiveness...
the emptiness within me
most in need of your deep presence...
the sorrow in my sadness
most in need of your compassion...
the holes in my hope
most in need my trust in you...
This morning, Lord,
I offer you the places in my life
where I most need you to bless me,
to forgive me, to make me whole again...
Accept my simple offering, Lord,
this morning, all day long
and through the week ahead..
What a beautiful prayer to start a Monday. Thank you!
