Lord, I thank You that the overwhelming imperfection of my circumstances can never mar the perfection of who You are.  You are perfect, and I cling to You in the midst of this imperfect mess. My constant prayer is one of reliance on You. 

I give my less-than-perfect situation to the One who is greater than everything. I give it all to You….

• the things I can control and the things I can’t
• what I wish was different and what will never change
• what is required of me now and what comes next

I give You all of me. I thank You that the giving over of an imperfect person to a perfect, holy God is a good thing, a freeing thing.  It’s what You want.  You want all of me – the mess and the mistakes, the successes and the sin, the goals, the gifts from You, the need for grace. 

So, here I am, Lord.  Things aren’t always perfect.  I’m not perfect.  But You always are.  And that is what I cling to in the midst of everything else.
