Monday Morning Offering: 4/4

Coffee in the Morning by George Mendoza

Good morning, good God!

So often, Lord, 

I look for clarity, surety and solutions,

evidence and proof,

certainty, signs and answers...

 

And when I bring all this to you

I'm sometimes disappointed, frustrated,

when my prayer meets your inscrutable silence, 

your quiet presence,

your mysterious Spirit...

So this morning, Lord,
I offer you my desire to trust...

Help me trust your wisdom
when I'm in a fog...

Help me trust your strength
when I'm so weak...

Help me see beyond my problems 
when my problems are all I see...

Help me trust all shall be well
- when all things seem so wrong...

Help me trust in your fidelity
when I feel like you've abandoned me...

Help me trust what lies ahead
when the present seems so bleak...

Help me trust your saving word
when it comes in just a whisper...

Help me trust your truth and wisdom
when I'm lost in my confusion...

Help me trust your warmth and light
when I shiver in my darkness...

Help me trust your constant love
when I'm feeling all alone...

Help me trust in your sweet mercy
when I fear you won't forgive me...

Help me put my trust in you, Lord,
when I lose trust in myself...

Help me let go my desire
for clarity, surety and solutions,
for evidence and proof,
for certainty, signs and answers...

Help me let go and trust in you, Lord,

in your faithful and abiding 

love and care for me...

Help me trust, Lord, that you hear me,
help me trust all shall be well,
that all things shall be well...

Amen.
