“For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy

unto all them that call upon thee.” Psalm 86:5

…

Forgive me, Lord, for my doubts.

…

Forgive me, Lord, in my pain and fatigue,

Your voice was distant and faint,

I thought You didn’t care.

…

Forgive me, Lord, I forgot the blessings,

Of yesterday in the crisis,

Of today.

…

Forgive me, Lord, for not recognizing,

How very precious I am to You,

You showed me again and again,

Buy my self-esteem couldn’t receive it.

…

Thank you, Lord, for continually calling my name,

Calling louder and louder,

When my ears were turned away.

…

Thank you, Lord, for the friends and warriors,

That You sent to my side,

When I was to weak to fight.

…

Thank you, Lord, for forced rest,

When my body was in desperate need,

But I refused to rest.

…

Thank you, Lord, that I am Your daughter,

And You are my Father,

And nothing can ever change that.
