A Prayer for Tuesday, July 8, 2014

Off

O God,

Sometimes we feel
a little off.

Sometimes we feel
a little off schedule,
a little off our game,
a little off script,
and/or
a little off center.

When we feel
a little off,
use it for good;

help us to live
into our offness
so that we can
see things differently,
approach life differently,
and
experience
you,
ourselves,
and
others
differently.

To feel off is to feel
like we don’t have control—
so maybe when we feel off
we can live
more realistically
and
more honestly.

So thank you for those times
when we feel off—
keep us from
desperately and hurriedly
trying to get back
on again.

Amen.
