NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 4/4

I'm sure I couldn't count, Lord,

the number of gifts and blessings

I took for granted today...

 

I live so much of my life 

as though it's owed to me,

as if I'm entitled to it,

as if I deserve it...

 

I'm often like a spoiled child, Lord:

when a rough patch comes along

or I don't get just what I want,

the way I want it,

when I want it,

I complain and overlook the bounty

of all of your many gifts...

 

Oh, there are many things I want, Lord,

and some things I really need,

and I hurt in very real ways

and cry for your healing touch

-but through it all-

let me always see and be grateful

-always-

for all the blessings that are mine,

all the time...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep rest in your peace...

Amen.

I know I take for granted...
