Monday Morning Offering: 10/19

Good morning, good God!

 

Today, Lord my basket is filled 

with some unhappy offerings...

 

I'm offering you my irritations,

my annoyances, my trigger points,

my short fuse, my aggravations,

my temper, my resentments, 

my grudges, my irritability

and anything else that sets me off

and brings to the fore

those parts of me

I'd rather no one see

or hear or feel...

 

I offer what's in my basket, Lord,

for your healing touch,

and your kind and gentle 

steady hand

to guide, adjust,

to soothe and calm,

to cool and temper

all that's troubled  

in my mind

and heart....

 

Bring peace, O Lord,

to all within me,

all that's anxious,

angry and afraid...

 

Put me at peace with you

and with myself

and with all those

whose paths cross mine

this day and all this week... 

Accept what's in my basket, Lord,

and make of all my brokenness

a gift of grace and mercy

to refresh, restore and magnify

your presence in my life...

 

Amen.
