We often hear it from old people nearing the end of their lives. They wished they should have done something else, that they should have chosen another way, that they should have risked more, lived more…cared less about what other people think.
Generally, I’m still at the prime of my life. But everyday I’m bothered by that nagging feeling that I made bad decisions and sabotaged my future because of it.
I’ve read somewhere about the story of a fly that was caught on the flypaper. It doesn’t know what happened so it kept on moving and trying to fly away but the more it moved, the more its trapped on the glue. I felt like the fly.
Lord, grant me the wisdom, the courage and the strength to change the situations that hurt me…and to surrender those that I cannot change. Amen.
