Prayer for a New Week


Lord,

A new week is beginning...

already I feel the rush.

Slow me down,Lord.

Slow me down to the beat of  Your heart.

I think of your words that say those who wait on You

will run and not grow weary-

and I remember that rest

is not about lack of motion

but rather moving forward with You

so that activity is a blessing not a burden.

I will run this week-there is much to do

but help me to do so in a way

that keeps me by Your side.

Waiting and working,

only You could tie those together.

Please do so for me today.

Amen.
