A Great Prayer
God,
Help me today
to shut up,
to listen up,
to open up, and
to lighten up.
You have a lot more
to show and tell me
more than I have to show you and tell you.
Please be patient with me.
Allow me a glimpse, give me a hint of what is really going on around me
as I walk, watch, wonder, and work throughout this unfolding day.
I now need
to worry a lot less,
to stop over-reaching,
to be calmer and
not insist I am special or right.
The world does not revolve around me.
I am not or will be anyone’s savior.
I must look up and out than in.
I must try harder to be
wiser,
nicer,
less grouchy, and
a more sensitive human being.
Gracious God, let me pray my life,
and live my prayers.
Amen
Morning Prayer - 2.20.24 by The Very Rev. Randy Hollerith
