A Saturday Prayer

I don't know why I don't do it more often. Pray. I spent time praying this morning. Just me and God. I felt refreshed. Later I picked up my journal and read part of a psalm I had written down. Amazingly enough it was exactly my prayer, except much more poetic.

⁵⁷ You are my portion, Lord;

    I have promised to obey your words.

⁵⁸ I have sought your face with all my heart;

    be gracious to me according to your promise.

⁵⁹ I have considered my ways

    and have turned my steps to your statutes.

⁶⁰ I will hasten and not delay

    to obey your commands.

⁶¹ Though the wicked bind me with ropes,

    I will not forget your law.

⁶² At midnight I rise to give you thanks

    for your righteous laws.

⁶³ I am a friend to all who fear you,

    to all who follow your precepts.

⁶⁴ The earth is filled with your love, Lord;

    teach me your decrees. 

Amen.
