All I can do.
The house needs mending, small duties as hinges have frozen and drawers have stuck. Alone on this hilltop, there are few to help me, so I will set to work. I will do my best.
I do not know the ways of tools and materials. My life is spent in walking and devotion.
Once my work is complete, will I be satisfied with the results? The hinges may move only with effort, the drawers may slide but not close fully.

I did my best, yet it was wanting.
Do we chastise the cornfield for not giving wheat?
Lord, let me accept who I am.

Consider:
Can I accept success and failure equally?
