Distract us
From overthinking situations
Beyond our control
Distract us
From being led astray
By the lure of temptations
Distract us
From the vain pursuit of fame
Wealth and status
Focus our hearts
On following and nurturing
Shepherd us well
A version for personal devotion:
Distract me
From overthinking situations
Beyond my control
Distract me
From being led astray
By the lure of temptations
Distract me
From the vain pursuit of fame
Wealth and status
Focus my heart
On following and nurturing
Shepherd me well
