A Writer's Prayer

Confused and unsettled; I have no focus or calm center.

Lord, separate the threads. Take away worry about money, worry about CCA and KCU and SACS and Kayla and Anna and Beth and Josh and this / that / the other.

Pull those threads away, let them evaporate in the sunlight. Calm me.

Calm me.

Calm me.

Give me calm, peace, a mind-like-water.

Let me focus my attention on the tasks at hand. Let me write things that will do your work, that will speak to your people as you call me to do so.

Calm me.

Speak through me.
