Strength for the Day
Wherefrom power?
If I awaken already tired, what can I do to become rested?
If I eat and am already hungry, how can I nourish myself?
❖
It is your power, Lord, that will carry me through these days. I cannot create my own energy; you provide it.
Let me accept the power you offer, in whatever form it takes.

Consider:
Can I remain open to your power?
