Thinking, Planning and Praying

I've found that when I start each day
With coffee cup in hand
If I will spend some thinking time
With thoughts of this day planned
Prioritizing tasks that move
Me toward some higher goal
That waits ahead yet, still undone,
The time is well spent
Because it helps to focus me
On things important and required
For success in my tasks.

Then, as I think through daily plans
I call on God above
To guide me through the list of chores
Which I have set,
Though asking that He redirect
My path if it has strayed
From that which He desires of me
And that He guide my thoughts
As the list is made
With gaps for opportunity
To which I might respond as He asks.
