Prayer For Slowing Down


Loving God, you made the days and nights.
Sometimes it seems we never have enough time,
but you have given us all the time we need.

Help us to slow down
so that we may
see the smiles around us,
hear the music of laughter and words,
smell and taste the delicious food you give.

In noticing all these things,
we honor all that you have given us,
if we simply take the time,
which itself is a gift from you.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
