I will not let you go, O Lord, until you bless me;

    so bless me this day, this hour, this moment:

 

Bless my mind to discern the one thing that this day requires;

Bless my heart to remain at peace in the face of fear;

Bless my will to resist all needless distractions;

Bless my hands to do the work that you have entrusted to me;

Bless my ears to be attuned to your voice;

Bless my eyes to see the signs of your presence;

Bless my feet to go wherever you would lead me.

 

I pray this so that I might be

    like the birds of the air

    and the lilies of the field,

    free of worry and secure

    in the enfolding care

    of my Father in heaven.

I pray this in your name.

Amen.
