Ever Faithful One, bringer of Light. The week is beginning whether or not I am ready. 

As the days unfurl, I am asking for many things: Peace. Patience. Perspective.

I believe that it is You upon whom the future rests. Would that my life and love model this trust– let this peace settle deep within me.

When I am troubled by the things before me. I ask you to provide the ‘long view’ so as to be patient with all that is incomplete and imperfect–around me and within me.

Attune my vision and awareness to the beauty and gifts already within reach. Guide me to seek out these reminders as much in times of trial as in times of joy.

Move in me so I cannot become complacent.

Grant me the perspective to recognize even the faintest light that I might see, if even in the dark.

Amen
