Not sure how much stress you're under right now, but I surely am weary after scooping out from a big blizzard!  Here's a prayer I wrote a while back that might serve if you, too, are stressed and weary. I wrote it for corporate worship - feel free to adapt it for private!

Prayer for the Stressed and Weary 

By Tess Baumberger

For all among us who are fearful,

Angry, irritable, resentful, stressed,

Anxious, worried, or weary, we pray.

O Precious one,

As we breathe in deeply together

May your kind air fill the hard places within,

And as we breathe out slowly

May those places soften, widen.

 

As we inhale gently once more,

May peaceful oxygen

Untangle the tangled places,

Loosening any knots we find

in our muscles, stomachs, and hearts –

so that when we release our breaths

we let go of all stress and tension.

If tears are there, let the come. 

This is a place where we can fall apart

And know that others will hold us gently

As we put ourselves together once more.

As we mingle our breaths

In this our safe and sacred place

May our fears disperse.

May anything within us

That may beckon conflict

Now take flight.

May our frayed nerves

Knit together once more.

May we realize that worry

Wastes both creative energy.

May we instead put that power

To better, more positive uses.

O Source that flows through all things,

Open the closed places within us now.

Remove all impediments to love and calm,

That you may flow serenely through us.

May we dance in the current of your grace,

To the music and the rhythm of our hearts.
