Prayer of the Broken (from my ongoing work 'Prayer for the Common Man')

I feel pretty miserable.

I feel like a broken piece of a car that never worked right to begin with. Somehow, some way, so many people rely on me but I am unreliable. I fail again and again to be what You need of me.

I need to be fixed. I can't keep doing this. I can't keep being who I am. I can't go on being so self-centered as to forsake everyone that loves and relies on me.

Please God, please, in Your mercy, put me together. I have somehow made a mess of every blessing you ever gave me. I am not worthy of love of anyone, and am most certainly not worthy of You.

You, the God of Creation, the God of Abraham, David, and Peter, who makes all things new; You who give redemption through Your Son; You who restores the pieces and makes the broken things whole; You who made me, please make me whole again.

Amen.

-Andy
