Forgive us our Father
for the bad habit of praying
When it doesn't do any good,
Or make any difference to us.
How could we do this
To the fellowship of fire?
Joshua made the sun
Stand still.
Moses split the sea
In two.
One word from Christ and
The fever fled,
The storm died, and
Lazarus got out of his grave
Like getting out of bed.
Forgive us for the way
We bore people to death
Trifling with prayer.
Another prayer by David A. Redding, found in his book, Before You Call I Will Answer, p. 55.
