Daily Devotion - Wednesday, August 25

Not So Common Prayers, Day 3

This week I am offering a series of prayers that I call, “Heart Prayers”. They are struggles we all deal with. Hope this helps you in your meditation time.

Wednesday Wonderings: Problems

Good morning God,
I’ve got problems. In case you didn’t know, I thought I’d talk about them with you.

• I’m having trouble understanding others (or is it me I’m having trouble with?).
• I’m angry and so I get irritable too readily (you’re not surprised?).
• I’m anxious about the future (or is it that I’m kicking myself about regrets from the past that might resurface?).
• I’m hiding behind artificiality too often (or is it an insecurity that my feelings really aren’t important?).
• I’m trying to believe (or is it that I really don’t trust your ability to understand my humanity?).

Nothing-new here? I know.

Help me to remember that you know my problems. Remind me that I can do something about them when I'm attentive!
