Prayer for a Busy Week by Raymond Foss

Lord, we thank you for this day,
for the many gifts you have heaped on us,
for the laughter and wonder of these young hearts
who share our days and our nights;
for sun and rain and growing things,
gifts of companionship.
Watch over this family Lord,
see us through our challenges,
mark the days of our lives, this moment, this week,
with joys too great to measure,
Lives rich in your good grace,
your love, your guidance.
Unburden our hearts, relieve our pain,
still our quiet, our fears;
Bless us Lord in the busy week to come.
