Thanking God for adult monotony

Currently, I’m in a prayer group at my church comprising the elders of the young adults. Frankly, we’re not really “young“ adults. We are just adults.

As such, I suspect that our prayers are slightly different than some of the younger groups.

Why?

Because, as people residing firmly in the routine of adulting, our lives are slightly less adventurous.

Now, we are genuinely thankful for routine.

Did you get fired from your job (particularly in the current climate)?

Did you have a massive fight with your spouse?

Are you on the verge of getting evicted?

Did a large bill come in the mail?

Did you have a car accident?

Did your family fall ill?

Did anyone you personally know die?

No?

THANK YOU JESUS!

We survived another week of being a productive adult!

PRAISE THE LORD!

As adults, seemingly, our prayers of gratitude now revolve around prevention and avoidance of catastrophe.

In practice, this is how the monotony of adulting works.
