Don't put prayer off until you are "in order." Now, just as you are, give it a minute. Don't hunt for beautiful sentences; look for the true one. If the tiredness is heavy, if you have no strength to compose long words, this is enough: I love You, Jesus; help me. Say it slowly, a few times, and actually lift your eyes as you do, toward the window, the sky, an image.

And once during the day, instead of watching for other people's weeds, ask yourself: what good wants to grow in me right now? Water it with a single gesture: a forgiveness, a patient word, a quiet prayer for someone, and leave the rest to the One to whom the harvest belongs.
