a prayer for new creation (genesis week 3)

GOD -

FORGIVE ME FOR FORGETTING MY TRUE TASK IN THIS WORLD
FOR NOT WORKING TO REDEEM IT
FOR NOT CREATING WITHIN IT
CULTIVATING IT
OR SHARING MYSELF IN IT WITH OTHERS

FORGIVE ME FOR DISTANCING MYSELF FROM YOU
AND FROM THIS WORLD,
LIKE A SHADOW THAT HAS LEFT ITS NOUN

I WANT TO WORK FOR THE FUTURE
I WANT TO HELP RESTORE ALL THAT’S BEEN LOST
AND GIVE BACK EVERYTHING THAT’S BEEN TAKEN

I HOPE TO SEE -
IN WHATEVER SMALL WAYS YOU WILL ALLOW -
THIS WORLD REMADE.

LET MY ACTIONS ANTICIPATE
A SECOND GENESIS
A NEW BEGINNING
IN ANOTHER GARDEN.

JUST LIKE YOU PROMISED.

AMEN.
