If you’ve made a mess of your life, I invite you to pray this prayer with me. “Lord, here’s my life, such as it is, a patchwork of small successes interlaced with repeated failures—an ordinary life, for the most part, used and sometimes misused, in need of new management. Govern me, I pray, with Your holy love. Direct all the decisions of my life. Teach me to budget my limited resources of time and talent, lest I squander them foolishly on selfish goals and things that don’t really matter.”

“No one whose hope is in you,
Will ever be put to shame.”

— Psalm 25:3

Lord Jesus, forgive our sinful failures and take over the management of our lives. Make us the persons we were called to be. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
