A Prayer in Times of Stress

Oh God of Joshua, grant me that eternal moment,
A moment removed from moments strides,
And grant my weary soul immortal peace.
My legs are weary from rushing from your gaze;
My tongue is dry from closing my mouth to your eternal spring;
My eye-lids are heavy from refusal of your Sabbath.
Lord forgive my stubbornness - align my will to yours.
Give me rest, Oh God, rest from myself.
Give me the will to will myself to You.

Amen
