time won't pass us by, won't tell me lies...

I went to an interesting little church tonight. My friends Jack and Lisa kind of started it a while back with some really cool people. It's called Millcreek Christian Fellowship. Their cool new website can be found at www.cometothetable.ca

When I got there, I got a "bulletin" of sorts and on the front of it was this...

It Would be Easier to Pray if I were Clear

O eternal One,
it would be easier for me to pray
if I were clear
and of a single mind and a pure heart;
if I could be done hiding from myself
and from you, even in my prayers.
But, I am who I am,
mixture of motives and excuses,
blurs of memories
quivers of hopes,
knot of fear,
tangle of confusion,
and restless with love,
for love.
I wander somewhere between
gratitude and grievance,
wonder and routine,
high resolve and undone dreams,
generous impulses and unpaid bills.
Come, find me, Lord.
Be with me exactly as I am.
Help me find me, Lord.
Help me accept what I am,
so I can begin to be yours.
Make of me something small enough to snuggle,
young enough to question,
simple enough to giggle,
old enough to forget,
foolish enough to act for peace;
skeptical enough to doubt
the sufficiency of anything but you,
and attentive enough to listen
as you call me out of the tomb of my timidity
into the chance glory of my possibilities
and the power of your presence.
