Good Monday morning, my friends.
I can definitely relate to this prayer. I am indeed an empty vessel that needs to be filled by God.
Let us remain with Him, of Whom we can receive, but to Whom we cannot give.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Behold, Lord, an empty vessel that needs to be filled. My Lord, fill it.
I am weak in the faith; strengthen me.
I am cold in love; warm me and make me fervent, that my love may go out to my neighbor.
I do not have a strong and firm faith; at times I doubt and am unable to trust you altogether.
O Lord, help me. Strengthen my faith and trust in you.
In you I have sealed the treasure of all I have.
I am poor; you are rich and came to be merciful to the poor.
I am a sinner; you are upright.
With me, there is an abundance of sin; in you is the fullness of righteousness.
Therefore I will will remain with you, of whom I can receive, but to whom I may not give.
Amen
...a prayer of Martin Luther
