Quit
O God,
Give us grace to know when to quit.
Give us grace to know when it’s time to quit working.
Let us know when we’ve done enough.
Help us to know when it’s time to rest.
Give us grace to know when it’s time to quit pushing.
Let us know when we’ve expended enough energy trying
to convince somebody to see things our way.
Help us to know when it’s time to be quiet.
Give us grace to know when it’s time to quit trying.
Let us know when we’ve put as much as we can or should into a cause.
Help us to know when it’s time to
let someone else continue the fight.
Give us grace to know when it’s time to quit wondering.
Let us know when we’ve pursued a question as far as we need to for now.
Help us to know when it’s time to let faith be enough.
Give us grace to know when it’s time to quit breathing.
Let us know when we’ve lived as long on this Earth as we need to live.
Help us to know when it’s time to turn loose and go home.
Give us grace to know when to quit.
But also give us grace not to quit
one second before we should …
Amen.
