Whenever
O God,
Some things have to wait.
Heaven has to wait.
Perfect peace has to wait.
Full knowledge has to wait.
We look forward to what is coming.
But don’t let us look forward so much that
we fail to live in the moment that we have.
And for now, the only moment that we have is
the one in which we are drawing our current breath.
Make us ready and willing to serve you and
to serve others whenever opportunities arise.
Make us aware that opportunities constantly arise.
Help us to love whenever we have the chance to love.
Help us to forgive whenever we have the chance to forgive.
Help us to bless whenever we have the chance to bless.
Help us to share whenever we have the chance to share.
Help us to help whenever we have the chance to help.
Some things have to wait, O God.
But a lot of things don’t.
Let us do what we can do to make things
better whenever we have the chance.
Amen.
