A Prayer on the Fifth Day of Vacation

Gracious God,
help me appreciate
another rhythm of life
that comes when work ends for a time.

In my movement from activity to quiet,
from thinking to being,
from producing to relaxation,
give me the softness of your Spirit
that will slow my heart and change its beat.

I ask this for the sake of your love.
Amen.

This is a beautiful prayer that I will refer back to when I take my mission trip in 2 weeks.

I am also doing a social activity that is called "5 Pennies a Day." If you are interested, check me out at

What have you done for someone else today?
