It is good to give thanks to the LORD
And to sing praises to Your name,
O Most High.
– Psalm 92:1
Dear God,
I’ve been thinking lately
about those in the Old Testament who complained
and became the Ungrateful Dead,
while I wallow in my complaints,
Unscathed.
I’ve been wondering about me who is so blessed
and just as undeserving
and thankful maybe once a year,
the ungrateful living,
and how it must hurt Your heart.
Renew me.
Restore me.
Remind me
of all I have been given.
Teach me to live as if “amazing grace”
were not a cliché,
on my face every day
in worship of such a forgiving God.
Amen.
