A Prayer for Choice
Dear God,
You have shown me that
I am the sum of my choices
Past, present, and future.
Small or large,
Remembered or forgotten,
Glad or sad,
Forgiving or bitter,
Bold or fearful,
Cynical or trusting,
Noble or not,
To be friend or enemy
Or mere acquaintance;
These are decisions
I will have made
Ten times ten thousand times
Before I leave this life.
Please, Lord, remind
Me always that the choice
That matters most
Is Jesus Christ.
For only through Him
May the right choice
Be always clearly seen,
And my true sum entered
Into the Book of Life.
Amen.
