I've read this many times but each time it brings forth a chuckle and lends a hint of truth.

 Dear Lord:

So far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my
temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or self indulgent.
I have not whined, bellyached, or eaten any chocolate.
I have not charged on my credit card.
However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I
will need lot more help after that.

Amen.
