Father,
Time is fleeting.
How easy it is to trust in the temporal
when all around us swirls the eternal!
Money is riveting.
How easy it is to forget, should riches increase,
we need not set our sights or affections on them!
Hearts are palpitating.
How easy it is to be seduced, enticed, and lured
by the counterfeit idols the flesh and this world offer!
Feet are constantly slipping.
How easy it is to stumble, falter, slip, fall, and sink
when we forget our calling is to trust in You at all times!
Holy One,
Lead us, teach us, guide us, steer us, shepherd us
to pour our hearts and minds and bodies out to You.
In You alone, O precious Master,
can be found true solace, true peace, true comfort, true hope.
Amen.
