Lord,
A new week is beginning...
already I feel the rush.
Slow me down, Lord.
Slow me 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 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.
