Holy and Beloved God, it is easy for us to be overwhelmed, to feel like everything is just too much. You call to us, pulling us toward you with the charge of love, and yet, we resist, even knowing that you are willing to share our burdens and lighten the load. Forgive our resistance, and redeem us in your grace, that the energy we expend would be to the benefit of your Way in the world. Help us to see you, and to be renewed in your Spirit, just as shoots of new grass are renewed every Spring.
a time of silent prayer and reflection
The grace of God pulls us always, like a wagon rolls downhill on a gentle slope. Let us put our trust in God’s plan and path. In God’s mercy, our burdens are made light and our energy is renewed, as we are forgiven today and always. Amen
