Here I am, Lord, stuck in the messiness of my everyday life and in my (mostly minor, but disappointing) failings and failures; downhearted again. It seems, and almost certainly is, way too self-obsessive, but nevertheless, it is there.
Help me, Lord; lift me out of the doldrums. Help me to see things in the wider perspective and also to see that the needs of others and the little things I can actually do to help, are far more important than the mistakes I make and the 'fed-up-ness' I feel!
Amen
PS Oh, how much I need you to help me keep my mind on an even keel and my 'show' on the road! Thank you for always being there, for listening and helping.
