God, grant me forgiveness
For the things I could change
But never will
God give me peace, please
To accept who I am
To confess all I can
To be honest with myself
To hold open my eyes
And burn with a vision of truth
How could I begin to utter
A single word in prayer
When I can't stop lying to myself
Let my fear be my courage
Let my trauma be my strength
Let my weakness be my joy
Let my vanity bring me to my knees
Let me stand before You
With fear and trembling
Because of what I am
Let me confess my failure
And feel my insignificance
Then let my heart find peace
In Your accepting, warm
Kind disappointent
Let me not avert my eyes from
The reflection of my rebellion
Take my will, my desire
And let my emptiness
Rest in perfection
Amen.
