May my heart be blameless in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame!
It is not shame in the usual sense, Lord, but the shame and disappointment that comes form the realization that my disobedience has come between me and the sheer enjoyment of living fully in the Kingdom, here and now, while I profit from the then and there. Help me, Lord, to bring this understanding more fully into my way of life.
