A Simple Prayer
Are you happy with me, Jesus?
A Simple Prayer
Are you happy with me, Jesus?
Did I please you at all today?
Was I loving and forgiving
as I knelt down to pray?
Or was I foolishly unbending?
Did I make you proud today, Jesus?
Did I even try to forgive?
Say an encouraging word of some kind,
though it is difficult to live
with past failures on your mind.
Are you angry with me, Jesus?
As I fell into temptation.
Did it hurt you when I slid?
If it's any consolation,
I am sorry if it did.
Can you please forgive me, Jesus?
For my failings and my faults,
for all the time I hurt you,
with my deeds and my thoughts.
Your help will guide me through.
