May we find time to rest and re-energize ourselves, O God. Too often we let ourselves be so over-programmed, and spiral into exhaustion. When we are over tired, we can say and do things that we regret and are not at our best. Help us to step back from the anxious pace that society seems to demand us and focus on ourselves enough to better face the world. May we take the time to evaluate our priorities and release those things that don’t feed us. Let us be guided by your Spirit now and always. Amen
