Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 1/23

If I'm dreading the week ahead, Lord,

remind me that you'll be with me

every hour, every minute,

every step along the way

until this week is done

and 

that nothing's going to happen 

this week

that you and I,

together,

cannot handle...

 

And if the prospect of another week

much like many other weeks,

numbs my spirit, tires my soul

and saps my strength,

remind me, Lord,

how you're always 

finding ways

to kindle hope within me,

warm my weary heart

and get me up and running

once again... 

 

And if, perhaps, 

in a quiet moment

there comes a glimpse 

of hopeful expectation:

   - ignite that spark, Lord -

and help me face the coming week

(its promise and potential)

as your good gift to me, 

pure grace,

so generously bestowed

from your hands into mine,

in the mystery of your Spirit

who desires naught but peace and calm

to settle in my soul

and help me face 

the week ahead... 

Amen.
