Dear God,
Help me not be a perfectionist.
Help me to relax about insignificant details, beginning tomorrow at 7:41:23 a.m. EST.
Help me to not try to run everything -- but, if You need some help, please feel free to ask me.
Help me to consider people's feelings, even if most of them are hypersensitive.
Help me to take responsibility for the consequences of my actions, even though they're usually not my fault.
Help me to be more laid back, and help me to do it exactly right.
Help me to take things more seriously -- especially laughter, parties, and dancing.
Give me patience, and I mean right now!
Help me to finish everything I start
Help me to keep my mind on one thing -- oh, look, a bird -- at a time.
Help me to do only what I can, and trust for the rest. And could I get that in writing?
Keep me open to others' ideas, misguided though they may be.
Help me follow established procedures. Hey, wait - this is wrong ...
Help me slow down and notrushthroughwhatido.
Thank you.
Amen
