A Simple Prayer

I am, O God, a jumbled mass of motives.

One moment I am adoring you, and the next I am shaking my fist at you.

I vacillate between mounting hope, and deepening despair.

I am full of faith, and full of doubt.

I want the best for others, and am jealous when they get it.

Even so, God, I will not run from your presence.  Nor will I pretend to be what I am not.  Thank you for accepting me with all my contradictions.

Amen.
