God Forgive
For these sins, O God, forgive. We come before thee painfully aware of our inadequacies and shortcomings. We realize that we stand surrounded with the mountains of love and we deliberately dwell in the valley of hate. We stand amid the forces of truth and deliberately lie. We are forever offered the high road and yet we choose to travel the low road. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
A Drop in the Ocean
Though I may be just one drop in an ocean of humanity, You love me all the same. My voice may be muffled, my vision cloudy, yet you hear and see me clearly. Thank You, holy One, for Your constant Presence as if I am Your one and only.
Fragile and Fulfilled
Dear God, help me embrace my fragility so I am not ashamed. With Your strength, I am able. With Your love, I am fulfilled.
God and God Alone
Dear God, I take this moment to sit with You, and You alone. To thank You for the time and space to simply let go. Blessed are You for the silence that fills me.
{bible}
