A Prayer This Week — part 2

God,

help me to choose

to embrace

the new things

that lead me

to your unseen blessings.

Eyes open or closed when you pray?

Head bowed or not?

Hands clasped, or raised, of holding hands with someone else?

Speaking out loud, or only in your mind and heart?

I can answer those by saying, “Yes” at one time or another in my life.

You, too?

Regardless, our focus remains the same: God.

At least that’s where it needs to be….

How’s that old song go, “Turn your eyes upon problems, look full at the mess that you’ve made” isn’t right, is it?

The song goes, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus.”

Starting our prayers simply and directly, as in saying God, sure works.
