I used to be very formal in prayer...but I find, it is no longer the case for the most part. It's amazing to me, that I've spent more time on my knees in the past few months than in my life...but that I speak to Him so informally.
Some examples? "You sneaky sneaky God you. I like it when you do this." or "You bastard." Yes, I've called Him a bastard before. The Creator of the Universe.
So...tonight, I'm going to pray as I post, and type my prayer. It seems the best way to have all of this make some sense.
Hey God, it's me again. So, tommorow's going to suck at work, and I want to plead with you for something. Tomorrow I will be tempted to be profane, to myself, to my co-workers, to my customers...may I not be. May I be pure and holy, tried and true, joyful in my work, and with a smile, even if I feel the deepest despair. May the pain not set in until it is accomplished.
Bring she and I closer to You, Lord. Through the temptations, the pitfalls, and the sweet voice of temptation. May You break through the siren Call of what a Fall would bring. Thanks for listening God, Amen.
