Tuesday's shower prayer

Here is what I had time to think this morning, upon rising before the rest of the house. As I was plotting out my day in the shower, the day that I would now control so well having woken so early on my own accord, this thought came to mind (mysteriously). 

Bless the Lord, oh my soul.

Let all that is within me bless His holy name.

Psalm 103:1

Maybe getting up early is not going to be about me having more control. Just a hunch. Since control never really works out anyway, right?

Also, as if (mysteriously) sealing the notion of what my days should be about, these lyrics spoke to me this morning...a prayer for my children today.

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love.

Take my heart, Lord, and seal it.

Seal it for Thy courts above.*

*lyrics from "Come Thou Fount"
