Pause for Prayer: SATURDAY 9/26

So often, Lord,
I let worry and fear build walls
that keep me from your grace, your strength
and your desire to help me 

    do the next right thing,
    speak the next right word
    and make the next right move...

Too often, Lord, I isolate 

and fail to see, to accept,

to welcome all the help you offer
    when I'm trapped and lost in  worry,
    when I doubt my self in fear
    and distrust myself to do what I must do...

All too often, Lord, I find a way,

a reason to excuse myself from my responsibility,
to seize the opportunity
    to do the next right thing,
    speak the next right word 

    and make the next right move...

Way too often, Lord, I give in

    when worry weakens my resolve,
    when old fears frustrate my best plans

    and doubt disarms my will 

    to do the next right thing...

So, break through, Lord, I pray:
break through my fear with your sure grace, 

break through my worry with your peace,
break through my doubt and strengthen me 

    to do the next right thing, 

    to speak the next right word 

    and to make the next right move...

Amen.
