Dear God, let me place my attention and energy where they ought to be. I get distracted by worldly concerns and before I know it I have focused exclusively on my own plans and designs, on worries that I face, on my physical body even.
I pretend these things are under my control, which is illusion. Worse, I place them before you. I spend more energy and time attending to trivia than I do tending my relationship with you.
Lord, I pray in the morning that Thy will be done, yet I myself do so little to bring that about.
Let me be active in seeking your will. Let me exert effort to make it reality — let me not try just to discern, but to act.
You grant me so much! Every need I have is fulfilled daily, and it has always been so. Let me not act as if you might fail me, but instead be your servant, working to make your will manifest, confident that all needed supplies will be delivered.
Let me take responsibility for doing my part. Let me work with a joyful and cheerful spirit.
