from his book, A BOOK OF UNCOMMON PRAYER
Lord, help me this day to shut up, listen up, open up and lighten up. You have a lot more to show and tell me than I have to show and tell you. Please be patient with me – allow me a glimpse, give me a hint of what is really going on around me as I walk and watch and wonder and work throughout this unfolding day. I know I need to worry a lot less – I need to stop overreacting- to be calmer and not to insist on being special or right. The world does not revolve around me nor am I its or anyone else’s savior. I must learn to look up and out, not just in. I must try harder to be wiser, nicer, less grouchy, a more sensitive human being. Please help me pray my life and live my prayers.

It’s available at Amazon, Ebay, Christian Book, Thrift Books to name a few. Thanks for the visit. I first heard the prayer offered by Randy Hollerith on a National Cathedral YouTube service.
