I’m trying to get the table cleared off and the extensions put away so I’ve been cleaning up piles of papers. It’s tedious going through the stacks, but I’m glad I did. I found a poem/prayer that I wrote back in 2009.  Not sure how it got to the table today as these stacks have not been on the table that long!!!!  Anyway – it would have been good to include in the book “Praying Our Way Through Stress: Drawing Wisdom from the Lord’s Life and Prayer.”  Perhaps when I get to revising the book it will be included.  For now, I’ll share it here.

God,

with your breath

your ruach

your Word

Teach me

Rebuke me

Correct me

Train me

So I may be useful for you

and live rightly

with you and [within] in your family.

AMEN
