Seeking Focus

Dear Lord,

I can become so focused on minor things. I can become deeply dedicated to my entertainment. I can lose sight of major things in the shadow of minor things.

Lord help me to avoid such waste of breath.

Lord teach me to understand Sabbath Rest.

Lord teach me to love.

Teach me to love you.

Teach me to love others.

Teach me to love the soul you made in me.

Lord help me to live with the complexity of life. Help me find the most simple life I can find and still be faithful to your will for my life. Lord teach me to find a simple life and a simple faith.

Lord fill me, control me, and incarnate your character in me. Let me be your body today in the interactions of my life.

Help me find the path from this point in life that will leave the best legacy I can based on where I have travelled.

Lord have mercy on your child this day.
