I make excuses not to pray
I must check my Facebook first,
Water a plant,
Revise a poem.
I'll wait till after lunch or
I've worked my crossword puzzle or
Made a call.
But when I recognize Satan's
Tactics I stop procrastinating and
Head towards my prayer closet.
I sit on my little stool and say,
"It's me Lord.
I'm ready to listen.
I'm ready to praise.
I'm ready to pray."
