Prayer for My Wayward Laptop
“It seems that every evening as I’m laying here in bed,
This tiny little prayer keeps running through my head.
God bless my wife and family, and bless all that we do,
And thank you for ten grandkids, those special “gifts” from You.
And God, there’s one more thing I wish that You could do:
Hope You don’t mind me asking, but bless my computer, too!
Now I know that it’s not normal to bless a “mother” board,
But just listen a second while I explain to You, my Lord.
You see, my little laptop holds more than odds & ends;
Inside those small compartments rest hundreds of my “best friends”.
Some, it’s true, I’ve never seen and most I’ve never met,
We’ve never exchanged a hug or kiss, or shared a meal, yet . . .
I know for sure they like me by the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal is how I travel to where they live.
By faith is how I know them (much the same as I know You)
I share in what life brings us – from that our friendship grew.
Please, take an extra minute from Your duties up above,
To bless this scrap of metal that is filled with so much love!”
