Metaphors
Dear Lord
Lead
me not into cheap metaphors,
like,
“Running is like faith, because
you suffer
but you persist
and try to
be disciplined
and at the end you feel something
approaching
glory.”
Also please
lead me not into
trying to
sound clever
all the
time
by, for
instance,
trying to
avoid cheap metaphors.
Amen.

Dear God,
Normally,
I’m not
into those prayers
which ask
for Your direct intervention
in things.
Like people
who pray for their football team to win,
or to get
that big promotion
or even for
a sick person to get well.
I feel like You don’t really like to get involved
in things
like that.
And that
what we really should be praying for
is Your
help in living through whatever might befall us.
I feel like
that’s more Your scene.
Having said that,
it would be
great if this airplane didn’t crash
into the
North Atlantic.
Just
putting it out there.
Amen.
