Let’s talk turkey!

Change me,

God please change me.

Though I cringe
Kick
Resist and resent

Pay no attention to me whatever.

When I run to hide

Drag me out of my safe little shelter.

Change me totally

Whatever it takes

However long You must work at the job.

Change me – and save me

From spiritual self-destruction.

- Ruth Harms Calkin

“Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation

and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”

- Psalm 51:10-12 NIV
