Jesus, I know You want us to take care of everyday business. But OMG, did You, too, take a little time to pick flowers with the neighborhood kids?

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: What Goes Up Needs to Come Down
O Lord, Hubby and I identified with biblical King David, who once said You “made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights” (Psalm 18:33). Thank You! Now, OMG, will You help our knees hold together so we can descend?
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer
Jesus, I didn’t realize You said so much in the biblical book of Proverbs about words until our pastor preached about them. Maybe all of us card-carrying members of the Love-the-Sound-of-My-Own-Voice Club should pray this prayer daily: “OMG, please fill my mouth —and social media — with worthwhile stuff, and shut me up when I’ve said enough!”

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Fruit Passion
Jesus, You know that when I enter a produce section or farm market, I want to buy out the place! Sort of an Eve compulsion (though if my Eden ancestor had given in to strawberry pie temptation, I would really get that). Often, though, I can share my fruit overload with our church family — especially meaningful today as we celebrate a dear woman who loved You and others with her long life. OMG, thank You for this privilege. And that You can transform even my greed into generosity.
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Dropping Decades
Jesus, thank You for a Ranger-roaring good time with my big brother, zooming around the Indiana hills like teenagers. For a brother-sister tour of his Eden-like garden. And OMG, thank You for his hospitable, patient wife who put up with a couple of adolescents in her home.
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: “Weeds” that Worship
Lord, You have always loved the lilies of the field. I’m sure You, like I, look forward to them every summer — flowers that don’t complain because people call them weeds. They’re not fauna divas that have to be pampered, but bloom like they can’t wait to show off Your glory. OMG, when I grow demanding and fussy like my roses, wave a few of these in front of my nose, okay?
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: God Went Camping
Jesus, when You camped out—as You probably did a lot—You probably grew tired of the work of setting up and breaking down. You didn’t always fix the weather, though You could have. Did You and the disciples also fight mosquitoes and have to do (ugh) 0tick checks? But OMG, did one cozy night around the campfire, one view of Your masterpieces of nature, refresh You too?
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Future Manna
O Lord, thank You for ruffles of green lettuce that portend fresh salads for supper. For little Roma tomatoes that vow we won’t have to eat store-bought, pink-plastic fare for long. For blackberry blossoms that promise a future yummy pie. OMG, I’d love for You for wave a magic wand. Make it happen without weeding. But is the wait-watch-and-work part of Your gift to us?
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Evil Laundry
O Lord, how do two adults generate so many dirty clothes? In the beginning, Adam and Eve only laundered their own skins. But because of the Fall, we have to wash, dry and fold more than fig leaves. OMG, is there any way I can farm out these Monday morning piles to the laundromat — and send A & E the bill?

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Not a Perfect Parent
You know how many mistakes I made as a mom. Ack!! Yet, You entrusted me with these beautiful people. Sometimes I wonder, “God, what were You thinking?” But OMG, mostly, I’m grateful. So grateful.
