"dear god,
in all the years that i have known you and developed a relationship with you, you know that i’ve never asked you for anything for myself in my prayers. ever. it almost seems arrogant to think of myself when we talk; there is so much tragedy in the world, so many people suffering; how can i be so selfish as to come to you with such trivial matters as my own wants and desires? i ask you to excuse the fact that i’m merely a man, and though i was made in your image, sin has corrupted me. i am flawed and imperfect; truly less than what you would have me to be and yet you love one so unworthy without fail and without hesitation. i thank you for that love. i thank you for your mercy and your grace. forgive me for being what i am...lesser, when i should be more."
