Good morning, good God!
This morning I offer you the things I don’t get done
because I just keep putting them off…
I offer the you the work I don’t get around to
because I’d rather do something else…
I offer you all I forget to do
when my thoughts are lost in a haze…
I offer my long To Do list
that grows longer with each passing day…
I offer you chores long left undone
– I can’t count how many there are…
I offer you the business I need to attend to,
big things that I shouldn’t leave waiting…
I offer all this and I pray for your help, Lord,
help only you can give…
I need energy, drive and get-up-and-go;
I need passion, excitement, a new sense of purpose;
I need strength, commitment, a kick in the butt…
Help me distinguish what must be done first
from things that can wait for a while…
I need balance in every part of my life
and prayer to help me stay calm and collected…
I offer you all that I’ve left undone:
give me grace, O Lord, to know where to start,
what to do next and when I should rest…
Help me do my work, Lord, a day at a time
and stay by my side, your wisdom my guide,
step by step on the path I walk…
Amen.
