Lord, Forgive Us for Always Being in a Hurry
A prayer for those who are always busy and anxious throughout the day
Lord, forgive us for always being in a hurry. Forgive us because we hardly have the time to call on to you in the morning as we hurriedly go on our way to work. Forgive us because we often forget you during the day and we become so busy in whatever it is that we do. Forgive us because even at night, we hurriedly say our evening prayers. After all of your blessings, guidance and protection, we hardly have the time to talk to you.
Forgive us, Lord for always being in a hurry. For always being anxious about so many things. Forgive us because many of our worries come from not being able to surrender unto you.
Help us to slow down and do things at the right time. Be with us, Lord, as we do our very best. But keep us from useless anxieties that keep our hearts away from you. Amen.
“The Lord said to her in reply, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.’” - Luke 10:41-42
