Good morning, good God!
Today, Lord...
I offer you the musings of my mind
and pray that you’ll enlighten me
with reason, truth and prudence…
I offer you the words I speak,
the words I write and post,
the words I write and post,
and pray you'll sift them through the sieve
of charity and wisdom...
I offer you my soul's desires,
my passions, thirsts and hungers,
my passions, thirsts and hungers,
and pray you'll tend and tame me
with integrity and grace…
I offer you the things I do,
day in, day out - my deeds,
day in, day out - my deeds,
and pray you'll teach my heart to give
with selfless generosity…
I offer you my attitude,
my feelings and my moods
my feelings and my moods
and pray you’ll heal and lift me up
with hope, in peace, to joy...
I offer you my weaknesses,
my failings, faults and sins
my failings, faults and sins
and pray you’ll pardon all of them
with mercy undeserved…
I offer you today, O Lord,
the whole of who I am:
I offer you today, O Lord,
the whole of who I am:
bend me, mold and shape and change me:
recreate me in your love…I offer you the week ahead,
its trials and its troubles:
I pray you'll stand right by my side
to hold me fast and faithful...
Amen.
