TIME
Jesus,
my God:
"Could you not watch one hour with me?"
You asked that of your disciples
on the eve of Your Crucifixion.
Help me, God, to stay alert, and watch with You.
How many hours, Dear God, how much time have I left?
How many years? How many months? How many days?
How many hours?
Time,
it has been said, has a powerful way
of showing us what really matters.
Guide
me, God, to know what really matters
and to act on that knowledge.
As
the grains of sand fall in the hour-glass of my life,
help me keep my eye on the clock
and my mind on my goals
and my heart and soul dedicated to You,
for it is our job and responsibility
to do Your work here on earth.
Let
every moment of my life and every beat of my heart
honor You and thank You for giving me time and life,
the knowledge of You and Your goodness,
the opportunity to serve You,
and the hope of spending eternity with You in heaven.
All
this I pray to You this day, this hour, this moment
Amen.
