Chris' prayer: Third Day's "God of Wonders"

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light

I have trouble with this. I am not a morning person at all, and can be quite cranky if I don't get the amount of sleep I need to function.

I was reminded of that this morning. So far, this whole retreat has been frustrating for me because nothing seems to be going as it should, and included in that is my lack of sleep.

I need this reminder tonight, that I should celebrate the new day, just as I was reminded earlier that not everything was going to go like I planned, but I can still have a good night, one worthy of praising God for.
