A SABBATICAL PRAYER
Lord, I invite you to enter the mystery of me.
You can see where I cannot,
into the shadowlands of my soul.
You can see beyond
the corners of my brokenness.
You can be strength
where I am weakness.
You can mend
what I do not know is torn.
That which I don't even know to confess,
and that which I do,
I confess.
Please forgive me.
And where I carry
sorrows, regrets, disappointments, failures--
Send peace, I pray.
What I cannot know to ask for,
yet what I need the most,
please grant me.
O Lord, that which I cannot imagine,
that for which I do not know to hope,
the things for which I do not know to ask,
BE.
