Remembering and Forgetting
I bring you
my heart,
my life,
my offering
to you.
You guide me,
lead me,
keep me safe.
You remember me,
know me,
better than I know myself.
But I ask you to forget
the stupid things I have done;
the things I have got wrong
even,
or especially,
when I thought I was right;
the right things I didn’t do.
See me Lord
and not those things,
make me more than that,
better than that,
living in you.
Forget what I have been,
remember
what I can be
and help me to live it.
And help me
to do the same with other people,
also known,
remembered,
forgiven
by you.
Psalm 25:1-10 Psalm 25:1-10(CEV)
(By David.)
A Prayer for Guidance and Help
25 I offer you my heart, Lord God,
2 and I trust you.
Don’t make me ashamed
or let enemies defeat me.
3 Don’t disappoint any
of your worshipers,
but disappoint all
deceitful liars.
4 Show me your paths
and teach me to follow;
5 guide me by your truth
and instruct me.
You keep me safe,
and I always trust you.
6 Please, Lord, remember,
you have always
been patient and kind.
7 Forget each wrong I did
when I was young.
Show how truly kind you are
and remember me.
8 You are honest and merciful,
and you teach sinners
how to follow your path.
9 You lead humble people
to do what is right
and to stay on your path.
10 In everything you do,
you are kind and faithful
to everyone who keeps
our agreement with you.
