by Linda Lubner
In our sin, you redeem us.
In our weakness, you give us your strength.
In our blindness and misunderstanding, you teach us to see.
In our selfishness, you teach us to give.
And in the depth of our struggle, your give us hope.
In our pride, your give us knowledge of our sins.
In our strength, you give us weakness.
In our understanding and wisdom, you give us the unknowable.
In our generosity, you show us a greater generosity.
And in our confidence, you cause a need to come to you.
In our weakness, you give us your strength.
In our blindness and misunderstanding, you teach us to see.
In our selfishness, you teach us to give.
And in the depth of our struggle, your give us hope.
In our pride, your give us knowledge of our sins.
In our strength, you give us weakness.
In our understanding and wisdom, you give us the unknowable.
In our generosity, you show us a greater generosity.
And in our confidence, you cause a need to come to you.
