Penitent girl, by Pietro Rotari, Wikimedia
Lord, you know me.
I am so set in my ways at times.
I am stubborn, self-centered and so sure I know it all.
I must make you angry at times.
Yet you love me,
you are sorry for me,
you want to give me so much.
Give me the grace to admit when I am wrong,
to turn from my self
and accept your love,
your way,
your will.
Margaret Cundiff, 1932-2011, Church of England minister
