FORGIVE ME, LORD.

FORGIVE ME, LORD.
I was in a hurry when, in truth, I needed discernment.
I had frustration when, in truth, I needed understanding.
I had pride when, in truth, I needed responsibility.
Forgive me, Lord, for not having understood Your timing.
Forgive me for having taken so long to realize.
Forgive me for what I still do not understand and continue to complain about.

Each frustration, each impatience, each doubt,
each time I felt pride — was a failure before You, Lord.
My selfishness did not allow me to see what, with Your perfect eyes,
You saw for my life.
Now I see how I was not prepared for any of what I so greatly awaited.
I hope I do not fail You again in the same things in which I have already failed before.
I hope I do not dishonor You.
Do not let me forget, Lord, that everything was made through You, for You,
to glorify the holy name of Jesus.
Forgive me, Christ.
Do not allow my pride and selfishness to speak for me.
