Our Father,
Lord, come I this day to you!
I am not a great gift to offer you, it is my coming that is my gift.
For who among us holds within themselves any worthy offering to the God who owns the universe?
To come to you while the entire world moves away from you, is our only gift of worth.
And so I come this day: ignore me or use me, save me or spend me.
Use me or set me by, I am yours.
Amen.
