The Litany of Shortfalls

6 May 2005, 3 pm | Prayer

Lord,
There was some parenting I didn’t receive;
      You are my Father.
There was some romancing I shouldn’t have trusted;
      You are the Lover of my Soul.
There are some things I want, but can’t find;
      You are the Source of all good things.
There are some evils I have gotten used to having around;
      Your Passion and Death has saved me.
There are some lies I tell well;
      You are the Truth.
There are goals for which the cost to me seems too high;
      You tell me only to ask and it will be given to me.
These things are big; I cannot see how I can change them;
      You make all things new.
Lord, I believe;
      help my unbelief.
Amen.
