DEAR LORD,

So far today, Lord, I've done all right. I haven't barked, haven't lost my temper, or haven't been grumpy, nasty, made a mistake on the floor, or overindulgent. I'm very thankful for that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I'm going to get out of bed. And from then on, I'm probably going to need a lot more help.

AMEN
