Lord have mercy

in those moments when i haven't felt like i could pray, this is all that could occupy my mind. when i would concentrate on some sort of centering prayer this would be my focus. it's one of a few disciplines that i'm trying to work on personally ... to try and be more self-aware as i realize my own failings within my struggles and my successes.


as i consider how resentments that i have contributed to, caused or harboured in my life and marriage ...
Lord have mercy.

as i ponder the possible pains and troubles ahead from medical and marital difficulties ...
Lord have mercy.

as i try to deal with my own stresses, my own health and those things that i can't get out of my head ...
Lord have mercy.

as i search for light everywhere and question those few moments where i think i've heard from God ...
Lord have mercy.

as i try to be merciful and fair in my dealings with people ...
Lord have mercy.

as i dream and consider what has been, what is, and what will be ...
Lord have mercy.

help me not to let stress, emotion, worry, or circumstance work on my will like it seems to work on my changing emotion ...
Lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy on me, a sinner.
