(Mostly cuz I don't feel like rewriting it, lazy.) :P
I have a prayer for myself, as well as anyone else who's feeling down in these hard times:
God, give me strength to wake up tomorrow morning and not be such a grouch because I have a lot to do and don't always like getting up. Remind me how much I love the light on the trees, how much I love the feeling of a warm car on a cold morning, and how much I really enjoy wearing the make up that takes me so long to put on.
Remind me as I go to work not to go out to breakfast or lunch, as that money can be saved and put towards more important things, like bills or necessities. Or towards saving for the future or charities I may be blessed enough to serve. Remind me to wake up a little earlier and pack my lunch, cook my breakfast, and be grateful for what I have.
Teach me not to worry about the future, for that is your domain. Remind me to trust in you, not just for the tough decisions like whether or not I stick with the job I've got or go for something better, but the everyday decisions too, like what I should do on my days off. Remind me not to be too selfish, but not to destroy myself with work, either. After all, I need reminding that there is a day for rest.
When I want to be alone remind me what a blessing people can be, when I am alone remind me about your voice in the gentle wind. Remind me how wrong I am and how gracious you are. Remind me to be understanding and kind, not judgmental and sadistic. Remind me to be equal parts loving and logical, because you are both good and disciplined. Grant me patience and grace in my every endeavor.
Remind me not to go to sleep too late, because I have things to do tomorrow. Remind me to not be resentful of my burdens, because they will build character. Let my thoughts be pure and most importantly, remind me to think of you always and above all, because I am weak and prone to forget. Amen.
Gosh, I'm always asking for things! I'm so forgetful, too. :)
