I'M NOT GOOD AT PRAYER
A meditation based upon Psalm 5
In my best version of myself, I’m really good at prayer
My words are prefect, and God is always listening
My voice sounds young, and full of life
not the craggy old-lady’s voice I have now
and I always use just the right words
I get up every morning, and, without ever missing a day
I spend time in meditation and prayer
Okay, that’s in my dreams
In reality, I’m not all that and a bag of chips
I forget, many (most?) days
I get to the end of the day, and remember that I forgot to pray
Would that I would just stop everything, right then and there
and pray
But, something distracts me, and on I go with my everyday life
God knows my heart, thankfully
And, in the end, when I do take the time,
My prayers are sincere and faithful
simple
honest
And, while they’re not the kind or words that others want to repost on Facebook,
I know that God rejoices over me
and loves it when I finally pray
And that’s what keeps me coming back to God
May whatever comes out of my mouth, to God, always be faithful
