Prayer

I really tried to write something tonight, but I couldn't write anything good. So I searched my files and found something I wrote several years ago instead.

It's not that I doubt you, Lord;

It's that I think you might forget some little detail.

You know how I have to have my life ordered just so,

And You might not get it right!

I have to watch out for my own interests.

And what if you don't give me the things I want?

What if you think I don't deserve them?

I'm sure I can get them on my own, if I try.

It's not that I doubt you, Lord, but

God helps those who help themselves.

(You said that, didn't you?)

If you were a little quicker, it wouldn't be so hard.

If you were clearer, I wouldn't need so much faith.

If you really loved me, you would give me what I want.
