A Prayer for Weeding

Lord, help me weed this garden
bare before me,
for this bed is made for seeding.
But these weed roots run deep
and for all my digging,
I can never pull them clean.
The smallest root may still be left
to grow up through the dirt again.
Crippling
the fruit and flowers I've been tending,
weeds subduing everything.
Lord, help me weed this garden
bare before me.
Destroy the roots from
start to end.
Dig deeper than my trowel will take me,
let me bear fruit again.
Lord, you are Creator,
Gardener,
and Sustainer,
may this garden have life through you
amen.
