I use it when the dentist looms over me with Novocain. I use it when the airplane hits turbulence and I’m convinced we’re going to crash. I use it when the lights go off and I’m home alone and admit to being scared.It’s a simple child’s prayer and I use it often. It’s not brilliant or emotional. Yet, when times are tough- it gets me through. I am the place where God shines through.For He and I are One not two.I may not fear, nor fret, nor plan,He wants me where and as I am.If I would be relaxed and free;He'll carry out his plans through me.I’m amazed that with all I forget these days, I remember this prayer. A prayer so simple that a child learns it and it stays in the heart forever.
Child Inside Me
I don't wanna.I don't wanna get out of bed,take a shower,make breakfast.I don't wanna iron my shirt,drive to work,sit in that blasted cubby all day.You understand,I do wish I'd wanna.With Your help, I willmake the most of my day.I won't disappoint me,my children,my boss,or more importantly,You.
