Monday Prayer

by Jill Eisnaugle — Read all 611 poems by Jill Eisnaugle

A prayer for the work week and more specially, the dreaded workday Monday.

Saturday, March 11, 2006


Poem Artwork



 


 

Lord, please shower upon me
Every day of this work week
Blessings of peace and serenity
And the things that I bespeak
So that when I start to wander
From the tasks I’m bound to face
I will take the time to ponder
If my actions are off-base.

 

Lord, please embrace my spirit
When the traffic is a mess
Let the phone ring when I’m near it
So that matters are addressed
Carry me upon Your shoulders
When my boss is walking by
And remove life’s heavy boulders
Should the work week go awry.

 

Lord, please give my soul direction
In each meeting I attend
Let me work to my perfection
Or the best I can expend
So that when the week is finished
Nothing will have been ignored
But the freedom I’ve diminished
For Your sweet weekend reward.

Work is a blessing and a curse. I prefer the former.

Good prayer! I think I'll make it part of my Momday morning. An I agree with Jerry: a raise couldn't hurt.
