A Prayer for Monday, January 26, 2015

Foolish

O God,

Sometimes we make foolish choices, sometimes we make foolish decisions, and sometimes we take foolish actions.

Sometimes we pay for them; hopefully we learn from them, too.

Thank you, though, for your amazing grace in which we can be—and often are—blessed even in and through our foolishness.

Thank you for how you manage to write straight with our crooked lines. Thank you for how you work through our frailty and foolishness to accomplish your will and to bring about your purposes.

Help us to become wiser.

But help us also to remember that you don’t depend on our wisdom …

Amen.
