Good morning, good God!
My first MMO for this year's Lent
so I'm venturing out on a limb, Lord:
this morning I want offer you:
a trinket or toy that I don't really need
but very much want and desire...
some distraction that eats up lots of my time
and keeps me from prayer and from you...
some cash I'll probably spend on myself
that could better be used helping others...
a worry or fear that consumes my soul
and keeps me from trusting you...
a grudge or resentment that hardens my heart
and keeps me from being at peace...
anything, Lord, that keeps me from growing
in grace and in faith, in hope and in love...
I've a storehouse of all I've mentioned above,
you can choose, Lord, from all that I've offered;
just give me the strength to let go and surrender
myself to your mercy, this Lent...
Amen.
