A Prayer to get through this Monday

 


By Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber, ELCA

 Dear God,

There’s so much to fear right now that I’m sort of losing track of what to worry about most.

 So I’m gonna need some help focusing.

 Show me what is MINE to do.

 Then grant me the strength to do it, and the humility to rest knowing it is enough.

 Help me remember that even if there is more to worry about in life right now, it does not mean that there is less to love in life right now.

 So protect every inch of our joy, Lord.

 And if you could help me stop reading shit on the internet, that might really help too.

 Amen.
