Prayer for today

A new feature for this space is going to be the ‘Prayer for today’.  I always start my morning with prayer and sometimes I have a prayer thought that seems worth repeating.  So, when that happens, I’ll post it here.  Hopefully that will be 2 to 3 times a week.

Today’s prayer:

Christ, I am deeply sorry for the pain I have caused you through my sins, and for the pain I have caused others.  I have dedicated my life to serving you and I have at times failed to live up to that promise.  Help me to make amends for my failures by bringing your joy and love to the world, to my family, friends and all those I meet, in greater measure than the pain I have caused to you and your creation.

In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
