Harden not your hearts as at Meribah.

As on that day at Massah in the desert.

And like them we are short sighted, we can’t see far.

Or follow our own guiding star.

Another prayer for Lent.

Fast from complaining and start accepting.

But it’s our lot to allow our happiness to be rent.

Perhaps because  we always are to others comparing.

Tormented by thirst the people complained against Moses.

Why did you bring us out of Egypt.

Of course our life is not a bed of roses.

We are wandering in our own desert out of Egypt.

Will we find the promised land.

Or just up amidst the trackless sand.

…….

Fast from complaining

And start accepting for once

Or give it a go

……..

See Exodus 17 : 3-7
