Lord of all things, you look deep into my soul and know all there is to know about me. Please forgive the lack of direction that I have.
Please forgive the tendencies I have to give in to my own self love rather than the love I should have for you and others.
Please forgive the ways in which I have disappointed you in my reactions to others or in my own self absorption.
Yet, Lord, even as I know there are ways I have fallen short of your designs for me, I know that you have loved me.
You have called me your child.
You have promised that I am valued.
You have even provided for the possibility of my redemption at great cost to yourself.
Lord, this is a gift I can never repay, but help me to focus on service to you and others so that I may give myself to your purposes for the short time that I will inhabit this world.
Amen.
