A Chocolate Prayer

When you were younger, did you ever write your name vertically – then use the letters in your name to describe yourself? We did this in school when I was young, but I could not for the life of me recall what they were called until I googled an extensive description. Maybe you already said, “Oh, yeah, an acrostic.” Or maybe you have never heard of such a thing – or, maybe you had no idea, like me, that they had a name or what the name was.

When we did this in school, the teacher usually told us to use our first names. It was probably the quickest I ever did any assignment – since my name has only three letters. I never really got to creative. A – Awesome. M – Magnificent. Y – Young.

Done. Not my best work.

I like the idea of using this type of “poem” to write a personal prayer. I thought it would be fun to write an acrostic prayer using the word chocolate.

I know our lives tend to be busy, so short prayers can be convenient and easier to fit into our days. I hope you like this prayer I penned! Feel free to enjoy a cup of hot cocoa as you read and pray!

C

Christ Jesus, my Lord

H

Help me to love and live according to Your will

O

O Most Holy Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit

C

Cleanse my heart and my life;

O

O Most Holy Mother of God

L

Lead me closer to your Son through your love and intercession

A

Almighty God our Father

T

Thank you for every breath I take and for Your

E

Everlasting and eternal love.

Amen

I took this idea to my prayer journal. I’m not an artist, but I enjoy using a journal when I pray because it helps me pay better attention, gives me a creative outlet and allows me some time to “be still”.

Would you ever write a prayer like this? What word would you choose?
