A Thief's Prayer

Lord, remember me.

Remember me when you feel like blessing someone.

Remember me when you're handing out strength for the day,

rest for the night,

hope for tomorrow.

Remember me when I forget you are near.

Remember me when the crowd presses in on me.

Remember me when others find fault, 

and demand what I cannot give. 

Remember when I'm stricken with fear,

and peace eludes me,

and I forget that you are in control.

Remember me, too, when cloudy skies clear,

and all seems well with the world.

Remember me, Lord. 

Remember me, in Jesus' name, amen.
