Chris' prayer: Jars of Clay's "Much Afraid"

So happy to love
Yet so far to go

Much of what I've learned over the past five years about my faith, and really about life in general, has been how to love more, and love more deeply. I have grown in ways I never could have previously imagined. I feel closer to my family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and even strangers as a result. I definitely feel like I'm at a different level with God. All of this makes me so very happy.

And yet, at the same time, it makes me realize just how bad I am at loving. I'm terribly inconsistent, prejudiced, conditional, and just plain bad at it sometimes. Knowing more about what love is, and how it works has revealed all of these flaws that I never would have noticed before. So, while knowing more about it has brought me great happiness, it also makes me realize that if I'm going to live that love that I now know, I have quite the distance to go before I'm good at it.
