Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am frail (Psalm 6:2; NET).
He knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust (Psalm 103:14; NLT).
Even when
I make mistakes,
And get things wrong,
And try, but fail –
It’s still okay
To be myself,
Because God knows
That I am frail.
So, every time
I speak amiss,
I’ll ask God’s help
Without delay –
Then I’ll face up
To what I’ve done,
By saying, “Sorry”,
Straight away.
I listen to their conversations and don’t hear a word of truth. Is anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say, “What a terrible thing I have done”? (Jeremiah 8:6; NLT).
If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift (Matthew 5:23-4; NIV).
