Today is filled with meetings, O God. Help me to be fully present and prepared for each of them. Let me listen and take the time to think before I act or speak. Give me the presence to support the work that others are doing and may they recognize that support. May I be clear in what I say, and when I finally hit the end of the day, look back upon it with a sense of accomplishment. All this I ask in your name O God of all Creation. Amen
