A Prayer for Monday, October 6, 2014

Seconds

O God,

Help us to remember that
every second that passes
is a second that we’ll
never have back.

Don’t let that remembering be
a source of anxiety for us;
rather, let us celebrate
every second of this life
as the great gift that it is.

Do help us make good and appropriate
use of every second that we have.

When we are working, let us work well;
when we are resting, let us rest well;
when we are worshiping, let us worship well;
when we are serving, let us serve well.

Let every second of our lives
be filled with an awareness of
your love and grace;
let every second of our lives
be lived in
your love and grace;
let every second of our lives
be an expression of
your love and grace.

Amen.
