O God, what was in your mind when you formed me and dreamt me into
being, before the foundations of the earth?
What was your divine intention for me and for my life? What were your grand plans for me? What mission did you have for me that only I
could accomplish? How did you mold and
make and form me to be a unique expression of your love, care, and
creativity? And was there a smile on
your face and joy in your heart as you breathed me into being?
For what, O God, have I been
consecrated and appointed? To whom did
you intend to send me, and what words did you specifically put in my mouth to
deliver? O Lord, forgive me when I fall
short of your grand design. Forgive me
when I think too little of myself—and too little of you—to think that you could
possibly have made me for some grand purpose when you formed me. Forgive me when I let fear or inadequacy stop
me from fulfilling the mission for which I was sent. And forgive me when I allow the busyness and
chaos of everyday life to distort or distract me from that mission.
Lord God, I belong to
you. I am the work of your strong and
loving hands. You made me to be a unique
and beautiful expression of yourself in the world. Give me the strength and the courage to be
that.
