Not Causing You Grief

Lord, how can one stop displeasing you?
It just seems too impossible not to vex you 
Thoughts, actions, words
God, how can one ever really please you?
What do you prefer Lord?
That we make mistakes or are mistake free
If you prefer the mistakes
Then be unproblematic for us Lord
Because we don’t want to displease you
And cause you grief
We don’t want to cause you any unhappiness Lord
We want to please You
Whatever it takes Lord
Know our hearts
Okay Lord God?
