"Accept me, O Lord, just as I am, in my frailty, in my inadequacy, in my contradictions, my confusion.
Accept me in my complexity, with all those discordant currents that pull me in so many directions.
Accept all of this, and help me so to live with what I am that what I am may become my way to God.
Accept the tensions [the contradictions in me] and help me hold them together, so that I may learn to live fully, wholly, not torn apart but finding that balance and harmony that will allow me to discover my point of inner equilibrium."
Amen
From Living with Contradiction by Esther de Waal, p. 28-9 (Italics mine)
