A Prayer for Monday, June 9, 2014

Pressure

O God,

Sometimes we wake up on Monday
feeling pressured and even overwhelmed
at what faces us this week—
and that’s just when we think about
what’s already on the calendar.

Who knows what else will come up?

Give us a calm center
where we can always be
in fellowship with you
and
where we can always be
at peace with ourselves.

Give us a consistent approach
to meeting our responsibilities
that lets us get our work done
fully and efficiently
and
that protects us from
the irresponsibility of procrastination.

Give us discernment
that can tell
what is best from
what is good
and
what is vital from
what is important.

Amen.
