A Prayer for the Week
A prayer for everyone who is tired today—tired from the heat, from the stresses of daily life, from the constant barrage of hostility in politics, and from the stress of caring for someone who requires more and more help. Lord God, we name the weariness of body and soul, and though we take any opportunity for a quick nap, we also seek your renewing Spirit. Feed us with a good word of hope and encouragement, and then bring alongside us a few good people who can help us bear the weight that should never have been carried alone. We request these things in the belief that you hear us and are always responding to us with immeasurable grace. Amen.
