%% 4
|
|
> He Restores My Soul
|
|
>> He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
|
|
|
|
Occasion: When I'm bone tired
|
|
|
|
Lord, I'm bone tired.
|
|
Nothing terrible has happened.
|
|
No crisis to solve.
|
|
I've simply reached the end
|
|
of what I have for today.
|
|
|
|
My thoughts grind to a halt.
|
|
Small things feel too heavy.
|
|
Even deciding what to do next
|
|
feels like one decision too many.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps there's nothing to do next.
|
|
|
|
Lead me beside still waters.
|
|
|
|
Give me permission to leave something unfinished,
|
|
to answer tomorrow,
|
|
to stop being useful for a while.
|
|
|
|
My worth does not increase
|
|
because I keep going when I am empty.
|
|
|
|
Let rest be rest,
|
|
not preparation I have to perform correctly,
|
|
not another task to accomplish.
|
|
|
|
The day has had enough of me.
|
|
And I have had enough of the day.
|
|
|
|
Restore my soul, Lord.
|
|
|
|
I will begin again
|
|
when morning comes.
|
|
|
|
Amen.
