The Shower Prayer (aka The Busy Peoples' Prayer!)
Dear Lord,
My days are so busy!
Often the only time I find to pray
is when I am in the shower!
Many responsibilities lie ahead of me today.
Others depend on me at home, at work, and in my community.
Sometimes I feel rushed, pressured, and overwhelmed by my responsibilities.
Let me take time, here in seclusion, to thank you for the opportunities presented to me today.
Thank you for the family I work so hard to care for.
Thank you for the community where I live in peace and safety.
Thank you for the health and intelligence that allow me to fulfill the tasks ahead of me.
Remind me to take time today for peace and quiet prayers of thanksgiving to you.
Remind me take time to shut off the cell phones, TV, radio, IPod and all the noise and clamor that keep me from thanking you, the provider of all the blessings in my life.
Guide me to serve you through my busy day in a manner that honors you.
In Jesus' name I pray and thank you for your blessings.
Amen.
