Ready
O God,
Make us ready for
whatever this week will bring.
There are things that
we expect to happen.
There are things that
we don’t expect to happen.
There are things that
we never in our wildest dreams
imagined might possibly happen.
The bottom line is that
we don’t know what’s coming.
Give us hope enough that
our unknowing is a source of
anticipation rather than of anxiety.
Give us faith enough that
our experiences are an opportunity for
trust rather than for fear.
Give us love enough that
whatever comes we will embrace it
as a chance to serve you and to serve others.
Make us ready for whatever
this week will bring.
Help us to remember that
you are in it all and that
you are with us in it all.
Amen.
