A Prayer for Off Days


33 seconds


Some days I need to pray a prayer like this one.  It is from Anne Lamott in her new book Help Thanks Wow.


Hi God
I am just a mess.
It is all hopeless.

What else is new?

I would be sick of me, if I were you,
But miraculously you are not.

I know I have no control over other people’s lives,
and I hate this. 

Yet I believe that if I accept this and surrender,
you will meet me wherever I am.

Wow.  Can this be true? 
If so, how is this afternoon – say two-ish?

Thank you in advance for your company … and
Blessings.

You have never once let me down.

Amen.
