Last night at 8:30 after the kids all had their baths I was exhausted and had to lay down for a moment. My wife came in and handled things from there on out. I heard her griping about things and felt resentful and remorseful that I was not up and about. I never got back up except to take cold medicine and I did my evening review in my head - Protect me Lord from all anxiety.

It had been a busy day. I woke up early and got the kids going with a hot breakfast - Thanks be to God.

I had a hard time going to sleep the previous night because I had a severe coughing fit and congestion. I slept fitfully but in the morning I woke up in much better shape - Thanks be to God.

At mid morning I got to listen to some more of the D'Souza vs. atheist debates - Thanks be to God.

Afterwards I went and ran some errands during which time I thought about how religion evolved from man needing to pray for his material needs to man praying for spiritual needs. This is reflected in the Gospel where Jesus teaches man this new model of faith. I read about supercessionism. - Thanks be to God.

In the afternoon my wife decided to go to the library and study. This meant that I had to handle mealtime and then load all the kids shuttle him to class and unload him and then do it all over again to pick him up then bathe them all. By this time of the day my energy ran out and so did my patience. I think I might have griped at the kids but I don't recall clearly. I was resentful at my wife, but what I failed to consider is that I also did some yardwork that I could have postponed - Protect me Lord from all anxiety.

Deliver me, Lord, from every evil and grant me peace in my day. In your mercy, keep me free from sin, and protect me from all anxiety.

Thanks be to God.
