When I Make Mistakes
When I've done wrong, it achesI pray in hopes of seeing a resolutionThanks for Your help Lord when I make mistakesUnder Your guidance I'll do what it takesIn silence I wait for Your contributionBecause when I've done wrong, it achesSometimes it after my being awakesThat I should've waited His solutionThanks for Your help Lord when I make mistakesWhen I jump the gun without His guidanceThat's when more often than not I mess upAffecting greatly my self-confidenceI may have said something I trumped-upIn thinking negative in the momentA mistake born that needs a follow-upWith the Lord, He guides me to what was meantWhen I know I've done wrong and it achesAs He gives me direction in the eventThanks for Your help Lord when I make mistakes©Doris Elaine
Thoughts: Only Jesus Christ was a perfect human being and we are not perfect; but, we do try to be like Him. However, it's impossible for us to not make mistakes. I know I make mistakes all the time and especially in misreading what someone meant or said to me. I'm not dumb, by far, but it can be very easy to misunderstand someone's purpose in reading messages sent or displayed; either verbally, text, or written. And, sometimes we may respond in a way that later we realize was a mistake due misunderstanding the message in the first place. One thing I can't stand when I make a mistake is if my mistake has hurt someone. In these times, I pray and ask guidance from the Lord. In the meantime, as I await, I pray the person doesn't get too mad at me and give us time to reconcile the mistake; rather that reconciliation is time or if words are needed, either way. However, I have noticed, when I pray and do nothing and just give it time, things do seem to resolve in the manner they need to. What surprises me most when I have made a mistake and prayed about it, is when the person I made the mistake with, doesn't dish me; that surprises me more than anything. I guess more people do realize us humans are not perfect, after all. But, the Lord is there to help me through when I do make mistakes. Thanks for Your help Lord when I make mistakes.
