A Cowboy's Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We just want to pause a moment, mindful of You and
all the blessings that You've bestowed upon us.

We pray Lord that You be with each of us and guide
us whether in the rodeo arena or in life's arena.

We don't ask You for any special favors Lord.
We don't ask that you always make it rain when we
need it, nor do we ask that you always let the sun
shine.

We don't always ask for the calf that runs straight,
nor do we shun the one that won't lay.

We don't ask to draw round the chute fighting horse
nor condemn the ride not bringing pay.

We thank you Lord, for dying for our  sins, so that
when it comes time to make that last ride to the
country up there, where the water runs, cool, clear
and deep and where the grass grows stirrup high,
lush and green, that You will tell us, that on the cross,
our entry fees were paid.

Amen.
