A Prayer from Work

Oh Christ, be the center of my life. Be the center of my job, my marriage, my relationships. Be the center of this move down south, be the center of my finances and money, be the center of my relationship, interaction, and impact on Heather. Be the center of our preparation for this wonderful baby. Be at the center of my relationships and interactions with my coworkers, with my friends. Be the center of my work ethic. Be the center of my manhood, my happiness, my joy, my growth in You, my convictions. Oh Christ, You ARE the center of everything. You are the center of the universe, of nature, of the rising and setting of the Sun. You are the center of everything that happens in my life, big and small, good and bad. You are the center of my salvation. You are the center of my sanctification. You are the center of my rescue from sin. You are the center of every good gift and the provision of everything I need. You are the center of every meaningful conversation, You are the center of every heart that adores You. You are the center of Your Church. You are the center of the Bible. You are the center of every smile, every loving act, every good deed, every single selfless thought in any human mind always. You are the center of life. You are the center of sacrifice. You are the center of order, You are the center of history, You are the center of every earthly authority. You are the center of every life saved, every heavenly thought, every soul in Heaven. You are the center of Heaven, You are the center of Earth, You are the center of me. You are the center of me. .... Take away Jesus Christ... and we are left with none of these things. We are left with nothing.
