Monday Morning Offering: 5/4

Morning Coffee

 Good morning, good God!

This morning I offer the things I don't get done
just because I keep putting them off...

I offer the work I don't get around to
when I'd rather do something else...

I offer you all I forget to do
when my thoughts are lost in a haze...

I offer my long To Do list,
growing longer with each passing day...

I offer the chores so long left undone
I've can't count how many there are...

I offer the business I need to attend to,
big things that I shouldn't leave waiting...

I offer the work that doesn't get done
when I'm busy with other work...

I offer all this and I pray for your help, Lord,
help only you can give...

I need energy, drive and get-up-and-go;
I need passion, excitement, a new sense of purpose;
I need strength, commitment, a kick in the butt...

I need help to distinguish what must be done first
from things that can wait for a while...

I need wisdom to teach me how best to proceed
and to know when it's time to rest...

I need balance in every part of my life
and prayer, lots of prayer, to help me stay sane...

I offer you all that I've left undone:
give me grace, O Lord, to know where to start,
what to do and when to sit back...

I can only work a day at a time
so be with me, Lord, every day, every hour,
every step along the way...

Amen.
