Prayer for yielding today to God

Come, Holy Spirit.

Help me to let go of my plans for today. Help me to let go of my narrow understanding of what it would look like for today to go well. Help me to let go of any a mindset that we try to force certain outcomes.

I ask for the grace of faith and hope. That.... The joy of today is far deeper than any specific good thing or pleasure that could happen in my life. But that you. are weaving today. Into your plan. for the renewal of all things. And you are.. shepherding all of history toward a joy. that is deeper than we can imagine.

I ask for faith and hope in those things. That is able to somehow.. find joy in the anticipation and peace and the trust. that everything that you do is guided by love and wisdom.

And that I am one person among many who is a beneficiary. I am a beneficiary of. your love, that is just the way you are. You are so generous and kind. and inclusive. Amen.
