Prayer Offered for July 5, 2023

Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Sister Michelle Gorman, RSM:
Let us pray: Psalm 23 for Busy People—with apologies to the psalmist.
The Lord is my pace-setter; I shall not rush,
God helps me stop and rest for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness,
Which restores my serenity.
God leads me in ways of efficiency through calmness of mind;
God’s guidance is peace.
Even though I have many things to accomplish today,
And crisis may pile upon crisis,
I will not fall apart, for God’s presence is here;
God’s timelessness will keep me in balance.
God prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activities.
God anoints my mind with the oil of inspiration.
Surely harmony and effectiveness will be the fruit of my hours,
And I shall walk in the peace of the Lord this day.—AMEN.
