My Prayer

It’s easy to say, “Jesus take the wheel”

But it’s kinda scary not to try to take control

When it seems like you’re headed for a ditch.

It is said that You will never give us a burden that we cannot carry

But how do you determine what we can and cannot carry?

I guess you know us more than we know ourselves.

I know that it is your will that your children will experience peace,

So if there’s no peace in my heart

Is it because I’m refusing to accept your peace?

I had it all wrong the first time

So I guess I’ll give this another shot

·      I acknowledge all that you are and stand for

·      Teach me to remove my sight from worldly possessions

·      Teach me to walk in your ways

·      Teach me to love me, so I can know how much is left to give to others

·      Teach me to have a forgiving heart

·      Teach me to be patient with life

·      Teach me to want to know you more

·      Teach me to see the good in the bad

·      Teach me to be sufficient in the friend I have in you

·      Teach me to have faith that all these requests will be met

Please don’t leave me to do this on my own because all this is beyond what I can.

Your willing servant
