I'm looking at the day ahead, Lord,
and praying you'll help me with
all the things I want to do,
all the things I need to do,
all the things I'm afraid to do,
all the things I'm not sure how to do,
all the things I must do,
all the things I put off doing yesterday
and must get done today...
and all the things you call me to do...
That's a daunting to-do list, Lord,
and so I ask for, that's why I need, your help!
I know I won't get it all done today
so help me know what to do first
and what can wait for another time...
Give me what I need
to accomplish the things I find most difficult
(and not push them off 'til tomorrow)...
And help me, Lord, to know in my heart
what you would have me do
- and to do it generously and patiently
with the help of your mercy and grace...
And when I'm not sure what to do next:
help me do what is right, love what is good
and walk humbly by your side...
Help me always, Lord,
to do the next right thing...
Amen.
beautiful
