Friday Prayer

 


God of mystery, who loves each of us as we are, hold us in this moment.  Clear away the chaos and clutter so that we might turn our attention and intention to You.  Help us rest in Your love.  Slow us down, stop us from the endless motion, our running away from ourselves.  Let us be, breathe, and find ourselves in You.  I pray I would remember that I don’t wear a cape or have a golden lasso (although, God, that would be kinda cool).  I pray I would remember it is not up to me to save the world today, nor can I be all things to all people, so help me let go of that desire, need, endless striving.  Direct my focus to You who surrounds and sustains me on all sides.  Direct my openness and curiosity that if this is true for me, it is true for all, even (especially) those who annoy me.  Break through my certainty, re-order my opinions, and ground me in a grace that I don’t earn, deserve, demand, or ever lose.  Grace is who You are and will always be ~ let that be the song every day this month as my soul dances with You, O God. Amen.
