AN HONEST PRAYER
Written by Scott Wall
We live in a world of half-truths and distorted realities.Every day we see inconvenient truths obscured.
We watch as others willfully deceive.
We observe the powerful seek advantage at all costs.
And in such a world, Lent invites Christ’s followers to respond with the age old practice of confession.
Which is meant to be both antidote and salve for all those trying to find their way.
So let us pause, and pray honestly together —
Join me now.
God of all —
To you our hearts are open…before you all desires and longing known.
Today we confess our inattention.
The ways we ignore the state of our bodies and minds.
How we distract and numb ourselves.
The ways we rush through each day with little awareness of your presence in those we meet.
Today we confess our inactivity.
We let fear shape our choices — we leave so much undone.
So often we silence our intuition and our wisdom.
We stand pat when we should stand up — we choose safety instead of costly growth.
Today we confess our inability.
We acknowledge our lack of imagination.
The frustrating and halting nature of our spiritual lives.
The ways we make progress in one moment, only to find ourselves back in familiar and unwanted places.
To you our hearts are open —
This is why we ask that this Lent…perhaps even in these moments now, that you would meet us in our practice of honesty.
That you would be way and truth and life for our battered hearts.
Spirit of the living God, guide us as we journey with Christ.
Amen.
