TEEN'S PRAYER

I want to share the prayer that Elijah was given on the first night of confirmation meetings. I'm not sure who made it up, but it is very fitting.

Lord, help me to relax about insignificant details beginning tomorrow at 7:41:23 am MST

God, help me to consider people's feelings, even if most of them ARE hypersensitive.

Lord, help me finish every thing I start.

God, help me to take responsibility for my own actions, even though they're usually NOT my fault.

God, help me to not try and RUN everything. But, it You need some help, please feel free to ASK me!

Lord, help me to be more laid back, and help me do it EXACTLY right.

God, help me to take things more seriously, especially laughter, parties, and dancing.

God, give me patience, and I mean right NOW!

Lord, help me not be a perfectionist. (Did I spell that correctly?)

God, help me to keep my mind on one th--Look, a bird--ing at a time.

God, help me to do only what I can, and trust you for the rest. And would you mind putting that in writing?

Lord, keep me open to others' ideas, WRONG though they may be.

Lord, help me be less independent, but let me do it my way.

Lord, help me slow down andnotrushthroughwhatIdo.

Amen
