Day 342: apostasies

Habakkuk 2, Mark 6, Psalm 128 OR 2 Esdras 1-2

Although we’re moving on, I found myself stuck yesterday in the thought of our own, regular and little apostasies; this was the result:

God forgive us our
daily apostasies: the
taking of your name in vain;
faking faith, defrauding love;
the times we fail to
call on you at all;
the many ways in which
our worship turns in upon
ourselves, our souls, our bodies.
Turn us, tell us,
compel us for we
will not follow willingly
for long.
