On Taking My Problems Less Seriously

copyright Bob Hostetler

Lord God, help me to take my problems less seriously,
and with them my obsessions,
my perfectionism,
my concern for getting every detail right,
and looking good to others
and pleasing others
and keeping a perfect "track record."

And help me to take more seriously your joy,
the joy of my salvation,
your sense of humor,
your delight in your Creation,
your compassion for the lost and unloved and "unloveable."
Help me to take seriously your will,
your agenda,
your priorities,
your timing,
your ways of doing things,
and not try to get you on board with me!
