here at the bus compound that i work at we had a driver that would stand outside his bus every morning after pretripping his bus and start praying. he left awhile ago and i happen to run into him recently and i asked him about the prayer he always made and he emailed me this prayer. hope you enjoyed it as much as i did because it is so true.
Please, Lord, watch over me this day. Please help me to remember to watch all 5 mirrors, 2 dozen windows, 8 guages, 6 warning lights, 6 dozen faces, 3 lanes of traffic, and keep a third eye open for the wobbling bicycles and daydreaming pedestrians, especially teenagers wearing headsets who are in another world.
Please, Lord, help me hear all train whistles, truck and car horns, police and emergency vehicle sirens and the 2-way radio.
Please, Lord, give me a hand for the gear lever, the steering wheel, the route book, the radio microphone, and the turn signal lever.
And, Lord, please grant me the self-control to keep my hands away from Johnny's neck. And one more thing, dear Lord, please don't let Mary be sick all over the bus.
And finally, Lord, please watch over us all so that we can do it again tomorrow. AMEN
