You have given me the gift of being
And You have also given me the gift of being good.

There are difficult decisions to make.
I want to be prudent, wise and to think well ahead.

How I wish I could be in different places at once,
present to different people
in the ways they each need.

But I cannot do much on my own.
I have my blind spots.
I might make choices out of prejudice
or what is convenient
without realising it.

Teach me to pause,
to listen,
and to recognise Your guidance.

For the gift of being good
does not come from my strength
but from Your grace
working patiently within me.
