Leonard Sweet recently shared a prayer he found in The Church of Scotland’s Celtic Daily Prayer: Book Two (2015), titled I Need Some Laughter, Lord —
I have had enough
of sad saints
and sour religion.
I have had enough
of sin spotting
and grace doubting.
I need some laughter, Lord,
the kind you planted in Sarah.
But, please may I not have to wait
until I am ninety
and pregnant.
Amen.
