My schedule this summer is even slippier than usual. I missed two
prayers in a row. Rather than beat myself up, I tried to find verbal
support.
Dear God, help us to accept ourselves as we are.
The reason that angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly. – G. K. Chesterton
Drag your thoughts away from your troubles…by the ears, by the heels,
or any other way you can manage it. – Mark Twain
I wonder how Twain would feel about appearing in a prayer, however
loosely constructed. Let’s hope that he also strove to take himself lightly.
