Jesus, our pear tree seems out of sync with most flowering trees. Every spring, it insists on producing scrawny, green leaves first and luxuriant flowers later. ??? OMG, I’m so thankful that when I, too, get life backwards, You still help me bloom.

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: True Dedication
Jesus, thank You for brave pastors who preach to cranky congregations the day we spring forward. Because, OMG, if I were a minister, I’d be tempted to refuse until every member had consumed at least two espressos and a giant jelly doughnut.

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Um, This Isn’t the Life
O Lord, shouldn’t games teach life skills? Yet “Life” not only teaches kids that having babies is as simple as adding a peg to a car. Also, they will receive wads of cash by twirling a spinner. OMG, if that’s real life, did I buy the wrong version?
OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Birthday Leap Delayed
O Jesus, while Einstein might disagree, my March birthday charges toward me at the speed of light. OMG, thank You for Leap Year, when one more day in February delays its arrival!
If I’d been born a year earlier, I might be celebrating my 18th birthday this year!

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: It Could Be Worse
Dear Lord, while other grandparents inherit grand-dogs and grand-cats, it’s taken some time for me to adjust to grand-rats. But You have taught me to share our grandsons’ pleasure in petting and even holding the little creatures.
After all, OMG, they could have chosen snakes and tarantulas.

O Lord, splurging on this one steaming cup of hot chocolate, I never realized one Aztec king, Montezuma III, drank 50 — spiked with chili peppers — daily. OMG, even this chocaholic realizes a person can want too much of a good thing!

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: No Gripes Here, Lord
Jesus, You know I often struggle to assume an attitude of gratitude. But on this chilly, damp Monday, with one flush, I remembered my papaw’s outhouse.

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Fido’s Survey??
Jesus, today, one more survey popped up on my screen, asking my dog’s opinion of winter. You know I don’t have a dog. But if I did, perhaps he’d agree there are too many surveys in this world.

Instead, shouldn’t humans, canines and all creation ask the bigger and better question:
OMG, what do You think?

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: 49 YEARS?!
O Lord, thank You for the nearly five decades You have given us since he, a freshman medical student between semesters, and me, his unemployed bride, said, “I do.” Sometimes wedded bliss. Sometimes wedded stress.
But always, OMG, together in You.
