Prayer for July 12, 2021

Patient God, we are grateful for all that you have given us and know that you are with us every step of the journey we are travelling.  Help us today to not be so overwhelmed by all the expectations we and others have set upon us.  Let us prioritize what we are called to do so that it comports to what you would have us do.  Let us respond to challenges in love and be patient enough to let our own anxiety calm before we make rash responses.  Let us know the difference between a true emergency and when taking time to respond will create a better outcome.  Let us look to you to guide us this day and every day.  Amen
