God,
Who created all things
Exactly as they were meant,

Today we ask for balance.
Balance in our work and home lives,
Balance in our labor and Sabbath,
Balance in our social interaction and from
Taking a break from our clock app addictions.

Show us that we find your deepest truth
When we find ways to center ourselves,
To be still
To know.

Help us to recognize or own nature.
When we find something good,
Something worthy
Something that tickles our emotions,
We tend to jump all in.

Remind us that a pendulum only hits its centermark as it passes from one extreme to the other.
Teach us how to slow our lives down
So we may stay in that center with you more often.

God,
Be the focal-point of our path.
Jesus, be the centering force in our lives.
Spirit, stay with us through the swings and extremes, and pull us back to you.

Amen.
