A young fathers prayer (dear God)

I do not wish

to hijack my

family concerns

for my own

comfort or

advancement.

You know

what’s in

my heart.

You know

how concerned

I am for

providing,

when true

provision only

comes from you.

Forgive any

ill placed desire

on my part.

Make me

more concerned

with

representing

you, and less

focused on

trying to meet

any future needs

which I have no

business

thinking about.

Help me trust

in your timing.

In your

placement.

To see only

when you put

green lights

in front of me.

This is not

about me.

Remind me

every day to

make my breath

about you.

Amen
