Monday Prayer

Precious One
Monday – for so many of us, this is Sabbath.
And for others this is just another day of work.
Whichever it is; however we spend this day,
Help us to pause….
help us to breathe….
Help us to be aware….
Help us to slow down, just long enough, that we can pause and breathe and become aware of all that is around us. 

Pause
Pause
Breathe
Breathe
Look
Listen
smell
Touch
Taste
Breathe
Breathe
Pause
Pause…

and, breathe some more.
Oh Precious Holy, you are in every breath we take; whether slow and deliberate; or gasped and hurried.
In every breath, and pause and moment, help us to be aware of all that is around us.
Aware of your Holy Presence
In and through us
Today
Every. Breath.
Amen
