“We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.”
—Matthew 14.17
God, I do not have enough.
Enough to save the world, even to help others,
sometimes even enough to manage myself.
Receive my inadequacy.
Let it be in your hands, not mine.
Let my lack be space for you.
Open my eyes to see in every failure,
in every shortcoming,
your grace.
Beloved, mindful not of what I lack
but what I have—that you have given me,
I offer you myself. By your grace it will be enough.
