Prayer

Usher me into Your sanctuary
Cover me with Your blood
Forgive me my sins
Weaknesses and failures
Shortcomings and errors
Rebuke my accusers
Tell them to leave
Turn about-face
Even should they speak the truth
I stand not in perfection
But grace

Written in the spirit of Amy Carmichael who wrote,

"There is nothing in this book (or in my case, blog) that might not happen anywhere, and has not happened over and over again in the lives of other children of our Father's house. But there are many depressing influences in the world, and faith is often sorely tried, and sometimes the living God seems so distant that even the least to whom He is a very Present Help cannot withold their witness. And as we have been heartened by the stories of others, we take courage to ask that our story in its turn may hearten our comrades on their battle-fields."
(From the preface to "Windows.")
