A Prayer For Common Sense
Precious Lord Jesus, Wonderful Holy Spirit, all-powerful
Father in Heaven, give me the common sense to do common sense things.
Give me the wisdom to see things as they are and not as I want them to be
or as I hope for them to be.
Show me the way to use what you have given me rather than letting me long
for things I do not have or cannot use.
In your ways of working in the world, let the light you have given me be a
light for others.
When I want to go about my life and build castles in the sky, show me the
need of those around me who hunger for the most humble of abodes.
When I tend to overlook the most common of people, places, and things,
show me these people, places, and things are made by you.
Show me the most common people, places, and things are given to me as an
opportunity to let your light shine in the world.
When I think I need special people, places, things, and circumstances to
do your work, show me they are already within my grasp through you.
I praise your holy Name for true wisdom and power comes only from you.
In the wonderful name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
