Make Me Simple
O Ingenious God, I rejoice in your creation and pray that your Spirit touches me so deeply that I will find a sense of self which makes me glad to be who I am and yet restless at being anything less than I can become.
Make me simple enough not to be confused by disappointments, clear enough not to mistake busyness for freedom, honest enough not to expect truth to be painless, brave enough not to sing all my songs in private, compassionate enough to get into trouble, humble enough to admit trouble and seek help, joyful enough to celebrate all of it, myself and others and you through Jesus Christ our Lord
