Prayer
Lord,
Please help me to avoid preoccupation with both the most trivial and the most critical issues of my life.
Please place in me a heart of worship that keeps rhythm independently of the preoccupying influences that confront me.
Please give me the patience to see past what distracts me today, and the wisdom to avoid overlooking the joys that exist in the present.
Please encourage me to realize my blessing in comfort and prosperity, but not to associate my blessing with only these luxuries.
Please show me a path that has both peace and challenge.
Please grant me peace when the path is challenging.
Please allow me the courage to turn to You.
Please turn to me.
Amen.
