Before we run off...

Now, before I run to play,
Let me not forget to pray!

I have been asked to speak at the weekly chapel service at the college where I teach. The topic I have been given is "Why I get up in the morning". I have been meditating and praying on this topic and God has given me a verse to focus on, but then tonight, He gave me this short, short portion of a child's prayer. 

I just love it! 

It is so simple. Easy to remember. Easy to memorize. Easy to implement! 
I think it has meaning not only for us to say prior to getting out of bed, but really at any time during our day. 

Before we run off to eat.
Before we run off to work.
Before we run off to chat with friends. 
Before we run off to  do what ever it might be we are doing at that moment in our day...

Lord, let us remember to FIRST pray!!!!!
