Father -
I cower under a weighty pile of stuff:
tasks, expectations, plans, and sin.
Much
of it is good.
Some
of it is excellent.
A lot
of it has no real value at all
other than giving me a grave in which to hide.
I long for your Resurrection.
I am looking to that great Day
when
we will so wonderfully celebrate that
He is
risen, indeed!
But I know that in order to best say yes
on
that special Resurrection Day
I
should say no today…
no to
pieces of the pile under which I hide,
no to
the worthless,
no to
the self indulgent,
and
even no to some of the seemingly good.
Help me, Father, with gifts of courage and
wisdom
to
say no,
even
to the good,
so
that I may say YES to the best.
Please give me grace to prepare my heart to
say Yes, again,
To
Your Resurrection.
Thank You that we pray
in
the Name of the Resurrected One: Jesus. Amen.
