NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 8/22

It's been a day of frustrations, Lord,

each one actually small on its own account

but all together adding up to one grand annoyance.

 

You know what my frustrations have been, Lord,

and I'd be embarrassed to detail them here

for all my readers to see

because even taken all together,

my vexations are minor, even trivial,

compared to the pain and problems,

the setbacks, stress and strife,

the disappointments many suffer 

every day, around the clock

and year after year after year...

 

So, grant me some perspective

on the molehills I must climb

while my neighbor scales a mountain's height

of turmoil, trials and troubles...

My problems weigh as nothing, Lord,

when seen against my neighbor's load

so free me from my petty woes,

to use my strength and give my heart

to those whose needs are truly great... 

 

Please, give me some perspective,

give me your perspective, Lord,

that I might see with wisdom's eye

what you see in us all...

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.
