A few years ago, I started doing what I call daily prayers. Almost every day, I write a prayer. I use a typewriter, I give myself up to two minutes to write and then maybe three minutes to edit, if even.

I actually am keeping a visual component now. It’s developed into a visual diary. I figured I’d share one from last week because it was a nice moment. I thought it might be useful to people right now while money is scarce and times are hard. So I hope you like it.

From June 1st, 2026.

A Prayer for a Busted Dollar.

Dear Lord,

I was walking the dog (BLESSING) on a beautiful day (BLESSING)when I spotted the distinct color of money, strewn in bits along the way.

Someone mowed over cash. For a fevered minute, I collected each tiny part, hopeful for what? A dollar?

My dog (BLESSING) was nonplussed and pulled me back into the day (BLESSING). We wandered home and I have assembled my treasure (see attached).

No luck on the found booty — but it made me think how lovely the new whole of it is. (BLESSING).I am peeled anew (BLESSING).

God, forgive my rush to reward in the face of your creation. Thank you for helping me see this busted dollar as a gift.

I am humbled before your Grace (BLESSING). I am made aware and renewed (BLESSING). I am loved now (BLESSING). And able to share the treasure of this life (BLESSING).

Thank you. AMEN
