Oh Lord,
I am fleeting, but You are eternal.
I am minuscule, but You are immense.
I am weak, but You are all-powerful.
I am limited, but You are infinite.
I am simple-minded, but You are beyond comprehension.
I deserve death, but You are the source of eternal life.
I am sinful, but You are “majestic in holiness.”
I am selfish, but you are selfless.
I am impatient, but You are long-suffering.
I am irritable, but You are gracious.
I am stubborn, but You are always right.
I am anxious, but You live in perfect peace.
I grow tired and weary, but You are the Rock and the Refuge.
I am inept, but You do far above all I ask or think.
I am forgetful, but You remember Your promises to every generation.
I am inconsistent, but You are the same “yesterday, today, and forever.”
I neglect time with You, but You are never too busy for me.
I drift from Your side, but You continually pursue me.
I am fickle in faith, but You are the “founder and perfecter” of it.
I lean on my own understanding, but You are the source of all wisdom.
I attempt to advise You, but You already know what is best.
I try to control life’s circumstances,
but You are sovereign over everything.
I rely on my own strength, but You are where strength is derived.
I am dependent on You for my every breath,
but You are the All- Sufficient One.
I am the creation, but You are the Mighty Creator.
I am Your servant, but You the King of Kings.
I am dust, but You are the Most High God.
Master, Help me to remember my place before You.
