September 5, 2009

Here is today's prayer:

We thank you, O Lord, for the mercies of life,
for hard work and relaxation.
May we happily embrace every time given.
Renew our spirits, O Lord, in our times of fun,
in recreation, in our time off.

All life is your gift:
families and friends,
the rhythyms of life,
pleasure, beauty,
and the chance to enjoy them.

You are sovereign, O Lord.
May every moment of our life be subject to your reign.
Refresh us with your Holy Spirit.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

~Thomas A. Langford Prayer and the Common Life, pg. 49
