A Prayer for Friday, April 20, 2012

Laughter

We will be faced today, O Lord, like all days, with lots of

stress and struggle,
conflict and confusion,
death & doubt,
asininity & absurdity,
foolishness & faithlessness, and
testing & temptation—

and that’s before we even encounter any other people!

Gift us, O Lord, with the blessing of laughter; after all, sometimes the best way to deal with ourselves and with our situations is to recognize the humor in our efforts at control and at coping.

Let us laugh, O Lord, and may our laughter be a prayer that releases it all to you.

Amen.
