Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 2/27

So, here's the thing, Lord:

    I don't believe I've been fooled.

 

I believe I get it.

I believe I get it right.

I believe I see things as they are.

I believe I'm smart enough

    not to be taken in, 

    not to be bamboozled

    - not to be fooled...

 

And I believe, in general,

that the folks on the other side 

    just don't get it.

They're blind 

    to what's right in front of them.

They might not actually be stupid 

    but they are gullible.

They might not, in fact, be obtuse 

    but they're clearly not paying attention

and as a result 

    they've been flimflammed,

    hoodwinked

    - and fooled... 

 

Of course there are times 

    when I realize, Lord,

that I can't be right all of the time

    any more than "they"

        can always be wrong...

 

But here's the problem, Lord:

I'm having a hard time seeing, admitting,

    when and where I'm wrong 

        - and how I've been fooled -

    and when and how the others are right 

        - and smarter, brighter than me...

 

So I pray this morning to see more clearly  

    what's true and what's false,

    what's right and what's wrong,

    what's just and unjust,

    who guides, who misleads

and where, O Lord, 

    I've been taken in, bamboozled and duped,

        for just as they say...
