Prayer by Alan Houghton

At Prayer, ibid. A prayer comes from the Rev. Alan Houghton. 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 it’s 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. Amen. - google search
