Month: December 2016

When I examen at the close of the each day,
did my thoughts and actions follow the way?
Those things I did wrong, and things I did right
things I could have done better for the light.

All fail to meet Jesus’ examples
Even people that were his disciples
Keeping in mind my many flaws human
What to do with my daily examen?

How do I react when I come up short?
Do I separate myself from God’s support?
Do I attempt to judge myself and say,
Worthless, hopeless, a failure every day?

Even Simon Peter wandered astray.
Tested, found wanting in less than a day.
Fear shaking his faith, yet he came back.
Stronger, able to help others who lack.

Is my character defined when all’s right?
Or by my actions after I fail the light?
God please grant me faith to repent and pray,
Letting the Holy Spirit rule my day.
