Good morning, Lord. I come to Your throne in prayer, and my thoughts run the other direction. I start to praise You, and my mind turns to my grocery list. I give thanks, and suddenly I remember an appointment. I should be confessing my sin, but I wonder about tomorrow’s weather.
I bring my prayer list to You, and my mind decides it’s time for a nap. I need help, O Lord, teach me to concentrate. Teach me to pray!
