a prayer

the reasons for my sins are petty

symptoms of ignorance,

and a misunderstanding of your grace.

i stumble and fall all the while

clamoring to get a glimpse and piece of you.

your faithfulness and love are thirst quenching,

they are enough.

i am in love with you and do a shoddy job,

a shoddy job representing you and your mission.

but time and time again i am wrapped

in your arms.

swaddled in your presence and peace,

and for that i am eternally grateful.
