Putting in a request here, Lord,
and I hope you don’t think
it’s too much to ask for…
I need and I’m asking for one day,
– just 24 hours –
one day free of surprises, interruptions, distractions
and those out-of-nowhere complications…
OK, I know:
that’s a lot to ask…
So, how about one day,
– just 24 hours –
without too many surprises, interruptions, distractions
and just plain unexpected bumps in the road…
And I know:
that’s a lot to ask for, too…
So, how about this, Lord?
How about I just ask for the
patience, grace and wisdom I need
to face and handle,
to make my way over, around and through
whatever comes my way in the day ahead
– in the next 24 hours…
And I’m pretty sure, Lord
– that’s not too much to ask…
So, help me to trust, to see and to find
that with you at my side,
with your strength and help,
I can face whatever may come my way
– for the next 24 hours…
Amen.
