Hi God,
Sometimes I think that
when we leave “things undone
which we ought to have done”,
we’re actually just avoiding doing.
I’m not sure why that is,
but I feel that I’ve been avoiding doing.
You know, just your garden variety procrastination.
So my prayer today is you help us
over come our inclinations to procrastinate,
help us find productive uses of our time.
That isn’t to say we need to do great things,
emptying the dishwasher or folding pajamas
is also important.
But when there is a defined to-do list,
one that sits idle,
we need some help with that.
That’s all I ask today.
Well, one other thing I ask,
please have mercy on my soul,
sinner though I continue to be.
Amen
