Preparing for the day

Lord, i so wish to prepare well for this day

i so want to make all of me ready and attentive and available to you

Please help me clarify and purify my intentions

i have so many contradictory desires

My activity seems to be so full of busyness and running after stuff

that doesn't really seem to matter or last.

I know that if i give you my heart whatever i do will follow my new heart

May all that i am today, all that i try to do today, may all my encounters,

reflections, even the frustrations and failings all place my life

in your hands.

Lord, my life is in your hands.

Please let this day give you praise.

Amen
