God of mercy, I do not have enough.
Enough to save the world, even to help others,
sometimes not even enough to manage myself.
Merciful God, receive my inadequacy.
Let it be in Your hands, not mine.
Let my lack be space for You.
Open my eyes to see in every failure,
in every shortcoming,
Your grace.
Beloved, mindful not of what I lack
but of what I have—what You have given me,
I offer You myself. By Your grace it will be enough.—AMEN.
