A Prayer for the Working Mom...

I was Googling (one of my favorite things to do) "the perfect grocery list" b/c I am headed to Safeway after work.  I am always clueless on what to get and what I may need later.  I get home and say "Ugh, I should have got this... or that."  It is so funny how God works in mysterious ways and always comes through right when I need him the most.  I feel so blessed to be a believer so that I can watch and take notice to his work in my life. 

I hit enter and this is the first website that popped up;  http://www.workingmom.com/.  I didn't even state in my Google search that I was a woman, much less a Mother, and this is what I find?  Awesome!!!  After reading through the website I found this prayer; it is almost identical to my prayer every morning while driving to work.  Not in these exact words, but it sums it up perfectly.  It was just what I needed this morning, so I wanted to share:

A PRAYER FOR THE WORKING MOTHER

Lord, I lay all my responsibilities at Your feet.  I am now yielding my heart, mind and strength to Your awesome power and glory.  I desperately need You. 

Open my eyes, ears, heart and soul so that I am not too busy to hear You.  Teach me to walk, live and be in the center of Your will for my life.  Use me as a blessing in the life of my child, dear Lord.

Forgive me for my past mistakes, which can better be described as sins.  I've been impatient, short tempered, and self-righteous and it has made me a difficult woman to live with.  Lord, starting today, fill me with the fruit of the Spirit:  patience, kindness, humility, and gentleness.

Make me a woman who is not easily angered; guard me from being rude or selfish.  Fill me with the strength to endure all things necessary.  Your perfect love never fails.  I praise You and thank You for saving me. 

Amen!

I am printing that out and putting it in my home so I can say that prayer often.  I hope it blessed you as much as it blessed me.  I am so glad I came upon it.  : )
