Megan's prayer: Matt Maher's "Your Grace is Enough"

Sometimes I think I come off as a very demanding person, but this isn't always a bad thing. I ask and expect a lot from those around me. I am a very loyal friend, and I expect those people who are my friends to be loyal to me as well. During small group discussions with the teenagers at LifeTeen, I ask them to be serious and to participate in the discussion. For them, this is definitely asking a lot of them, sometimes too much.

At times, I begin to ask and expect a lot from God as well. I want to be guaranteed a secure full-time job after I graduate from school, I want enough money to pay back my student loans, I want to have a perfect body, I want to someday be happily married and have kids. I want a lot of things. Sometimes I even get the point of expecting God to give me these because I've been a "good Catholic." It as though I think God is going to reward me with these material items because I went to Church.

And then I listen to today's song. Really listen to it. I don't drum on my desk to the beat like I would normally do when we sing it at Church, I actually listen to the words being sung.

Your grace is enough.

How could I ask, or want, anything more than that from God? How could I be so blind to see that God is giving me the most important gift, without me even asking for it? His grace IS enough for me. His love and compassion mean more to me than any of the other material objects that I was asking for. I'm so lucky and so blessed to have God's grace.
