In the midst of my busyness, O Lord,
remind me to slow down and savor each moment
as a gift from you.

As I move frantically from thought to thought, project to project,
remind me that you are a God of abundance, to scarcity,
and there is time enough for all that you have called me to do.

- Katherine L. James, “Midday Prayer”, Alive Now, July/August 2011
