What I Prayed This Morning Driving 75 MPH on the Highway

Lord,
As I walk into this room on my first day of work,
after 7 years out of the working world,
please Lord,
let my colleagues see me as
knowledgeable or smart or savvy
or kind or helpful
or I'd take bookish or hardworking.
Maybe I'll be a good listener, or observant
or someone who asks too many questions.
I don't even care if they see me as tardy because I am running late
or shy or uncertain or confused or lost.
They can describe me as average,
with stringy hair, with a fever blister on its way.
Lord, I'll be anything, just please,
Lord, please, help me not be
Invisible.

Amen.
