There’s a little prayer I’ve found myself whispering more and more lately—sometimes before my feet even hit the floor in the morning. It goes like this:
“Lord, get into my head before I do.”

My Head Is a Noisy Place

Before I’ve even brushed my teeth, I’ve had a full mental board meeting about things that haven’t happened yet—and may never happen.
