Honest Attitude PrayerSo far today, God, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my
temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy,
nasty, selfish, over-indulgent, or told
anyone to mind their own business and
stay out of mine.
I'm really glad about that!…

Honest Attitude PrayerBut, in a few minutes, God, I'm
going to get out of bed, and
from then on I'm probably going
to need a lot more help.
