The prayer

A prayer to pray now

Father, I do not need to fix myself with my own hammer. When I try to make myself good all by myself, I just make a mess. You are the builder. I bring You the rocks. You hold the chisel. So today I bring You me, plain. You do the shaping. If I keep grabbing the tool, take it out of my hand. I want to be Your stone, not something I made on my own. Amen.
