Good morning, good God!
Today I offer you all my rough edges
and I pray you’ll buff them smooth
with the gift and grist of your grace…
Send your Spirit to nudge and guide me
to act, to move, to complete and accomplish
the work that’s mine to do…
I offer you my indifferent, apathetic side:
send the power of your Spirit
to stretch, expand and grow me,
to broaden, open and deepen me
to the fullness of the person
you created me to be…
And I offer you all my unfulfilled dreams,
my frustrated plans, my unmet expectations,
and my dashed hopes…
Let your Spirit fall afresh on me,
to purify my mind and heart:
anoint my soul with mercy,
remake me in your image,
and sustain me with your grace
this morning, day and evening
and all through the week ahead…
Amen.
