Lord, I thank you for me

Lord, I thank you
for slowing me down
for making me see those details
that I so often ignore
as I rush on by.

Lord I thank you,
for letting me see
that weakness in me
that needs so much
to be strengthened by You.

Lord I thank you,
for relaxing me
that I may take one step back
and let be, those things
that I have no control over.

Lord I thank you,
for the change I feel in me
as I slowly re-build my wounded,
rushed, exhausted, ignorant self
because in Your presence
I have the courage to do better.
Lord, I thank you.
