Daily Intentions

That our pits not stink and
our nails be free from dirt.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we never find ourselves
one puzzle piece short.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That our hands are free when
suddenly our noses itch.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That those of us who like to
dance have that opportunity.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we remember our dreams
and that they be colorful.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we go many months
without touching a sticky surface.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That someone else cancels
that useless meeting.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we learn new words and
have the chance to use them.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That the traffic lights we
encounter behave sensibly.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That all of our produce lasts
an impressively long time.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we find something fun
the next time we check our pockets.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That all mosquitoes find us
thick-skinned and unappealing.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we play games without
anyone losing their shit.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That we never spill the milk
or leave the caps off the markers.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)

That the ice cream in the freezer
be abundant and free from burn.

(Lord, hear our prayer.)
