Hi God,
Do you remember
how hard I tried
to write a prayer
each.and.every.day
during Lent last year?
Some how, I don’t think
I’m going to come close this year.
But at least I’ll begin,
and deal with tomorrow another time.
Isn’t there something in the Bible
about delaying worry
about what might happen tomorrow
until tomorrow becomes today?
So my prayer today
is that You help us backsliders
to remain faithful
despite the distractions or doubts
that inevitably creep
into our streams of conscious.
Also, I ask that you
have mercy on my soul,
backsliding sinner though I be.
Amen
