Κύριε, ἐλέησον


Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me a sinner. 
I am unclean and undeserving of your presence. Forgive me, Lord. 
Christ, have mercy. 
Though I have unclean lips and dirty hands, your love makes me a better man. 
It transforms me. It molds me. It turns me into a better person. 
God, forgive me for being a half-hearted follower of you. 
Help me to love you with all my heart, soul, and mind. Help me to put you first in all that I do. Help me to love you. Help me to believe. 
When I can't see what's going on, let me see how you do. Let me see the bigger picture. 
God, create in me a pure heart. Remove my transgressions. Take away my iniquities. 
Jesus, forgive me. I am unworthy of you. I don't always choose you but you always choose me. 
Holy Spirit come to me.
 Come into me. 
Come with me. 
Be with me wherever I go. That I might know the fullness of this mystery. 
That I might fall more in love with you. God, reach for me as I reach for you.
