A Prayer to Overcome
the Messes We Have Made

O Lord what a mess we make of our lives! We see You but we believe our illusions We hear You but we trust our own voices We love You but we cater to the desires of the flesh O Lord how do we get out of this mess? We need forgiveness but we cast the blame upon others We need purification but we resist its hard work and pain We need holiness but we are satisfied with worldliness O Lord show us the way out of this mess! We want love but we don't believe we are loveable We want hope but we choose to live in despair We want faith but we refuse to rely solely on You O Lord what a mess we have made of our lives! Teach us the ways of Your Spirit Teach us the ways Your love Crumble our pride Humble our hearts Re-create us O Lord and we shall be renewed to love You with all of our heart to love You with all of our soul to love You with all of our mind and to love others with all the love that You have for us. Thank You O Lord, Amen!
