Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

a prayer for weariness

 O Lord, you are as the shadow

of a great rock in a weary land,

who behold your weak creatures,

weary of labor,

weary of pleasure,

weary of hope deferred,

weary of self.

In your abundant compassion

and unutterable tenderness, bring us,

    we pray,

      into your rest.

Amen.
