For the overworked, the stressed-out, the stretched-too-thin, the full-time-with-a-side-hustle, the workaholic, the can’t-stop-or-the-ends-won’t-meet, and the all-I-value-about-myself-is-productivity, a prayerful reminder:
If I do all. the. things.
but have not love,
I am just a ball of stress,
an incarnate BlackBerry.
If I exceed expectations
but have not faith,
I am just an act,
a cynical Pinocchio.
If I win every battle
but have not hope,
I am just a trophy,
a gambler’s dream.
**On most weekdays, I post prayers like this one on Twitter. Follow me there, if you don’t already.
