The prayer of a worrier

I am blogging this evening with a clouded vision.

This afternoon, as I sat in the recliner holding my sleeping boy, I was running every stressful situation through my head and worrying my blood pressure through the roof I'm sure. As I tried to solve every problem in my head, while trying not to hyperventilate or cry hysterically, I thought "I should blog about this." Shortly after thinking this, my sleepy headed little one wiggled a little to find a new spot and I realized something.

"Who are you?" Who am I to question God's timing? Who am I to "solve" my problems without going to Him? Who am I to stress and worry as if to say "You won't take care of it, so I'll get it."

So I write this prayer tonight in order to clear my vision, de-stress my mind and refresh my soul. I write this to recognize my blessings and to be grateful for them. Maybe someone out there reading this needs to say this prayer too.


Heavenly Father, Daddy,
Forgive me for not coming to You first. Forgive me for underestimating or doubting your abilities. You are the almighty and all knowing. You take care of those who follow you. Thank you for the blessings you pour out on my family daily. Thank you for my loving husband who treats his family the way you want. Thank you for my beautiful son who is healthy and such a joy. Thank you for my husband's job and ability to work. I know that life can be difficult. I ask that you continue to protect and bless us. Teach us Your ways. Help us to be patient and understanding. Uncloud my vision. Help me to see your plan. Help me to be content. Forgive me when I fail and help me to realize that you are always there to pick me up.

Amen.
