Today my Lord, I praise you with all the possible sincerity I can muster. You have given me so much in life and I seldom thank you. In fact, I complain, I ask for more, I argue with you and sometimes doubt you. Instead, today...I ask you to take me Lord...steal me from this arrogance, this sense of entitlement I have...for all the materialistic things on this earth are worthless to me...take them from me, keep me in your love and do with me what you will...
I give you praise...you are my redeemer. You take my sins and wash them from my soul and I only pray that as I go throughout this life, you only provide to me what you deign necessary to me carrying out your will. I know I will never perfectly follow you, but I will travel the rocky path barefoot and endure the cuts if it means I get to chill out with you some day and sip pina coladas on a beach with no sand... :)
You know my heart, you know it more than I do...all the good and bad that I'm capable of...my failures and my fears; my successes and my humility. The gifts you have given me, my passion, my love, my sensitivity, my love of the arts and use them to your will...have me share you through what YOU have given me...let me honor you so that others can learn to honor you and know you.
Today I put my failures behind me and let them dissolve in your mercy. Thank you my lord.
