MONDAY MORNING OFFERING: 8/22

 Morning Coffee: George Mendoza

 

Good morning, good God!

 

Today, Lord, I offer

for your understanding, mercy and healing

the messy parts of my life...

I offer you all my undone stuff,

my incompletes, my untended loose ends,

the unfinished business of 

    promises yet to keep,

    resentments tucked away,

    social debts in arrears,

    pledges unfulfilled, 

    self-inventory delayed,

    time foolishly wasted,

    tough jobs long avoided, 

    grudges nursed and held,

    responsibilities unattended...

 

All this I offer, Lord, and I pray for

    courage to face my failings,

    strength to do the next right thing,

    wisdom to see what's real, what's true,

    character to shape my choices,

    grace to grow in holiness

    and mercy to heal my brokenness...

Help me finish what's unfinished, Lord,

    find order in my chaos,

    clean up the mess I've made,

    tie up all my loose ends 

    and follow where your Spirit leads

    into your peace where all is well...

Amen.
