A prayer for tired people

Lord,

I’m tired, and it’s early.
I’m not sure if it’s the Holy Spirit,
common sense,
or my mother’s voice inside my head,
but I’m hearing “Get more sleep.”

Another voice says “Take a nap,”
but that might be my college self crying out from the past.

I’m wondering if you could sprinkle me with a little holy adrenaline?
I just drank some caffeine
and took my vitamins.
I would go for a quick walk, but I’ve just eaten.
I’ll take my shower now.

But all of that will wear off,
and the tiredness will return.

You know how I feel?
Of course you do.
You even napped in a boat–during a storm!–
which I could never do because I have motion-sickness.

Okay, I’ll try to go to bed early.
Thanks for the conversation.

Amen.
