Sharing my prayer this morning...
Dear God, at times my life seems to be too much. Too full. Too demanding. Too consuming. Everything feels necessary, even important, but weariness creeps across my body and soul like storm clouds gathering in a clear sky. As my body is depleted of energy, my mind loses interest in what normally enthuses me. My tired soul sags as if it were a balloon losing its air. Often - TOO often I feel so spent - so exhausted that even restorative sleep eludes me.
Help me sort the truly important from what only seems important. Give me the courage to say no to what drains rather than feeds me. Help me find brief moments to sit in perfect stillness while you massage my soul. And when I go to my sleeping place, wrap your darkness around me like the softest blanket, so that I might sleep peacefully in your embrace knowing you've already worked it all out - knowing it's not on my shoulders - but yours.
