I despair.
I realize this doesn’t make me different from others in this world,
But sometimes the despair seems overwhelming,
And I feel that I am suffering as much as anyone ever has.
It is ludicrous, really.
I realistically know that no matter how bad it has been for me,
I am extremely fortunate and have no ground to stand on in complaining
Or even feeling sorry for myself.
It is the state of humanity to sometimes feel blue, or despair.
But, O Lord, you have done so many things for all of us.
When I turn my mind to your gifts for me and your creation,
I am ashamed of my want and sadness.
Forgive me, O Lord,
And turn my mind to the awesome wonder of what you are and what you have created for us.
Amen.
