A prayer

* I wrote this at about 1 a.m. this morning when I was trying to sleep.

Dearest Lord,

I don't understand why You would choose me. As I lay here in bed tonight, unable to sleep for thinking over my day, my life, I realize how truly wretched I am and have been in my life.

And it seems that no matter how hard I try to "be good," it is never enough. I will never be good enough.

On my own, that is.

I am amazed You chose me, and I am amazed by Your power. Because of You, I am justified.

Because of Your wonderful, glorious gift of grace, I now belong to You.

Please remind me every day that my life is not my own.
