Gracious God

Gracious God,
As the pace of life slows for many this month,
remind us to trust you with the spaces we often try to control.
Help us lay down our constant planning and striving,
and find peace in your presence.
Where we face uncertainty,
give us courage to lean not on our own understanding,
but to rest in your wisdom and grace.
Make straight our paths as we walk with you —
one step, one breath, one day at a time.
Amen.

Proverbs 3:5–6 (NRSV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Rev. Rebecca Daniel
