For the weary

God of the weary, God of the burdened: after six straight weeks, it would be stranger if fatigue didn’t set it, not only for those who fight for breath, or are working countless shifts, but for all those whose minds are occupied with stress and worry, laden with concerns for the future. Turn our ear to your invitation to come and rest for a while. Give us again what we struggle to hold: the strength to let go of control. 

Amen.
