Beautiful prayer for today

 

 

Gracious God,

Thank you for the gift of today.

 

Refresh me.  Invite me to discover your presence

in each person that I meet

and every event that I encounter.

 

Teach me when to speak and when to listen.

When to ponder and when to share.

 

In moments of challenge and decision

attune my heart to the whisperings of your Wisdom.

 

As I undertake ordinary and unnoticed tasks,

gift me with simple Joy.

 

When my day goes well, may I rejoice.

When it grows difficult, surprise me with

new possibilities.

 

When life is overwhelming, call me to

Sabbath moments

to restore your Peace and Harmony.

 

May my living today reveal your Goodness.

Amen.
