Benediction/Invocation of too many to-do's, not enough time, and life, Lent

Much to mull over, consider, pursue--
more than I humanly can.

Lord, help me discern,
decipher and delegate,

decide the dogged:
"to do or not do?"

And then...
Deem the ream of to-do's:
Redeemed!

By the Father of time,
Son of "the hour has come," and the
Spirit of truth in lending--

for truly,
my time is but lent.

As the time of Lent approaches,
reproaching me for frittered minutes:

"Teach me to number my days aright,
that I may gain a heart of wisdom."

Amen.
