A Prayer for the Mental Load

Come ever-present God
and be with me.
You alone know and understand all that is before me.
Come help me trust in you.
 
Slow my pace to see you;
quicken my senses to hear you.
Guide my steps to follow you and your ways;
let there be a cadence of grace with me.
 
I need your grace and your guidance
in all that lies before me –
all the tasks and decisions,
all the worries and uncertainties,
all the opportunities that await.
 
Give me wisdom to know where to focus my attention.
Give me clarity and courage:
an ease of thought,
and the ability to respond in love
in all that I do and say.
 
Come Lord Jesus,
come be with me.
Grant me a cadence of grace
in my mind
and my heart
as we live this day together.
