Pray:
Father,
I live in
Exhausted times—
Where rush, hurry, fatigue, and doing
Have become the definitive way.
And yet, Father,
I steer my course to a better time—
Where all creativity springs from the wells of grace,
And all doing overflows from the waters of rest.
And so,
As I slow today,
Would you refresh my heart
In drenching grace,
And may I—
In pausing, breathing, slowing, sleeping—
Dip weary feet
Into eternity waters,
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
