A Prayer for Tuesday, January 13, 2015

Up

O God,

When we fall, cause us to get up.
When we are discouraged, cause us to look up.
When we sin, cause us to ‘fess up.
When we are challenged, cause us to buck up.
When we are unsure, cause us to hold up.
When we are needed, cause us to join up.
When we can’t do it alone, cause us to link up.
When we are close minded, cause us to open up.
When we have options, cause us to size up.
When we need to bear witness, cause us to put up.
When we need to be quiet, cause us to shut up.
When we should give, cause us to pony up.
When we get weak in our faith, cause us to tone up.
When we are being deceived, cause us to wise up.

When we die, cause us to rise up.

Amen.
