Please get me off your radar, God,

And test me not again this year.

I understand this is your job,

To challenge me with pain and fear,

But, I believe that there must be,

Somebody else to focus on.

Grant me relief, a time for peace,

Just like it says in that old Psalm.

Avert, thine eyes, oh Lord divine.

Forget my blessings and my sins.

Across expanse of space and time,

I now beseech, let me blend in.

Forsake me just a little while.

Ignore me. Engage not my soul,

In myriads of earthly trials,

And cosmic games of whack-a-mole.
