Just about every moment of every day, Lord,
I get to choose...
I get to choose
the next right thing to do...
I get to choose
between lying and telling the truth...
I get to choose
to speak or remain silent...
I get to choose
between my needs and my neighbor's...
I get to choose
to do what you ask or just what I want...
I get to choose
to be honest or to cheat...
I get to choose
to be foolish or wise...
I get to choose
between forging ahead or falling behind...
I get to choose
between your word and my comfort...
I get to choose
to reach out or withdraw...
I get to choose
to be part of the problem or part of the solution...
I get to choose
to pay attention or zone out...
I get to choose
to love or to hate...
I get to choose
to forgive or condemn...
I get to choose
the real or the fake...
I get to choose
to be careful or careless...
I get to choose
between doubt and faith...
I get to choose
to help or ignore those around me...
I get to choose
to be selfish or selfless...
I get to choose
to exclude or welcome the newcomer...
I get to choose
between grace and sin...
I get to choose
to persevere or give up...
I have a lot of choices to make, Lord:
every day and all day long...
Help me to choose wisely,
out of love for you and my neighbor;
help me to choose as you'd choose, Lord,
help me choose life over death...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
