A Prayer: Dust and Life.

My soul is so easily entertained,

by everyday things:

Amusing titbits,

diverting trivia and

inane time wasters .

My heart can be so shallow

and fickle,

that where treasure

should live

there is dross and detritus –

the dust of life.

Fill me

Oh God with

You.

Your Spirit,

Your Word,

Your Life.

Enliven me

with what is real

and eternal.

Empower me to leave

the dust behind.
