Lent Day 40—11 April 2009

Hi God,

I can’t believe we finally
got through Lent.
Or will have after today.
Wow, 40 days of prayers
seems like a lot of work.

So here it is,
the last day of Lent,
and I’m stuck for a last prayer.
Then again, shouldn’t I be praying
even when it’s not Lent?
I’ll need help with that.

St. Paul admonished the early church
to devote themselves to prayer continually.
I think that means more than
a few minutes a day,
every day, for a mere six weeks,

So my prayer today
is that you help us focus
on praying regularly,
and not on worrying
whether what we have to say
is trivial or unenlightening.
Isn’t it the regular connection that counts?

Also, please have mercy on my soul,
sinner that I fail to stop being.

Amen

— Larry Piper
