Monday

Gracious Lord,
I was tired, and you gave me sleep. You led me to rest, and now I wake, rejuvanated, ready to serve. Holy God, may my soul echo this movement. When my soul is weary, lost and confused, may it find its rest in you. When it wakes, may it hear your voice calling it from slumber and move forward in the world, ready and willing to serve you by loving others. You are my God and my love, teach me to follow your footsteps, to reach beyond where I am to dream like the God of tomorrow you are, to treasure today's moments for you are the God of today as well. You are every good thing in my life, and you are working on every bad thing. Teach me patience and wonder, so that I might share my awe of you.
I love you.
Amen
