A Prayer for Thursday, March 15, 2012

The “I’ds” of March

“I’d help people more if I weren’t so over-committed.”
“I’d spend more time in prayer if I weren’t so busy.”
“I’d care more about the poor if I weren’t so occupied making a living.”
“I’d show more grace if people weren’t so irritating.”
“I’d take more chances if I weren’t so afraid.”
“I’d take better care of myself if I weren’t so tired.”
“I’d read more if I weren’t so involved in my favorite TV shows.”
“I’d observe the Sabbath if I weren’t so pressed for time.”
“I’d trust God more if I weren’t so worried.”

Cause us, O God, to beware the “I’ds” of March—and of every day of every other month, too.

Amen.
