I have always been broken, until I heard You call my name.
Those who knew me then scoff at me when I speak Your
name. I know I am still unworthy.
I still fall down, but You are here to pick me up, dust me
off, and encourage me to try again.
I call myself a Christian, but people stumble over me,
trying to get to You.
On my best day, I am still a sinner, unworthy of the love
and grace You provide me.
I have carried Your name to places that I should have never
been and I have used Your name for my own gain.
I am the voice that called out from the crowd for You to be
crucified.
I have betrayed You like Judas Iscariot and have been the
thorn in Your crown.
I am the sword in Your side and have been for far too long.
I pray now, Father, that You can touch my heart and cleanse
my thoughts.
Make me long for the things that matter to You and forget
the things I’ve longed for in this world.
Teach me to be like You.
Teach me love and patience, teach me kindness and
generosity, teach me compassion and forgiveness,
Teach me the way YOU would do it…
In Your Son’s precious name, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
