As we prepare for the weekend, O God, may we remain diligent as we complete the tasks set before us. Allow us to be ready for what happens this day and to live it fully. May we be fully present to those around us and seek to be ready and willing to lend a hand to those who ask. Allow us at the end of the day to fully release the anxieties that may have been a part of our work day and give full attention to those we love. All this we ask in your name. Amen
