A Prayer Worrier Triple Play

"Just a quick prayer (to keep it all religious), God give us

quick answers. We don't have time to sit around and wait.

It's almost time for worship service to begin and we can do

our serious praying then. Amen."

When you pray

Count each word you say

Then subtract each "we just" and "really"

Break your tradition

Of vain repetition

Speak to our Lord simply and sincerely

If I'm not praying', I'm not stayin'

'Cause I'm not where the Lord expects to find me

I'm not there yet, so when I forget

Lord Jesus please, once again, remind me

"But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your

most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep

yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy

of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life."

(Jude 20-21)
