A liturgy for: Summer Fatigue

Liturgies for the little years

A prayer you might use to refresh and sustain your soul in the beautiful (but often long!) days of summer with kiddos…

A liturgy for: Summer

Summer holds my hopes
to slow, breathe deep, recharge -   
that is until the sun beats hard 
and dries my dreams with scorching rays 
of taxing schedules, monotonous days. 
O God, take now my thirsting soul 
and use these coming days ahead 
to lead me far from desert roads,
to wade in waters of your love.
Yes, lead me to the fount that is greater than I
and fill me to the brim with life
that from me streams might flow and reach
to all to which I tend and keep. 

May these coming days now be the place
where we might be refreshed by Grace.
