God loves a try-er
or so ‘they’ say.
And God,
you know that I’m trying.
But somehow
I never feel good enough.
There’s always something
just beyond my reach;
something I can’t get right.
And somehow
I always seem to let me –
and you –
down.
Living Spirit
uplift me, I pray.
Breathe a warm waft of your love
under my wings
and give me the strength I need
to serve you
and be the person I know I can be.
Help me to accept myself
as I am,
and not compare myself with others.
Show me
that I am wonderfully made,
unique and precious
in the sight
of the One who loves me
freely
and unconditionally.
May there come a day
when I can accept that of myself
and afford the same grace
to others,
especially those
who are trying too!
Amen.
