a prayer for the overwhelmed and out of breath

Imagine that God is speaking to you:

I have created you to praise me.
I want you to know that praise
is as necessary to you as your next breath.
I want you to worship me.
When you worship me, it is a foretaste of heaven.
I have created you to receive and to give.
I have formed you in such a way
that you breathe in my grace and breathe out my praise.
If you will breathe in and breathe out,
you will discover the shape of your life.
I did not create you for burnout.
I did not create your pace of life.
I want to do wonderful things for you.
I want to shape you, mold you, fill you, use you.
I want to breathe life into you.
I am delighted
when you accept the gift of my grace,
and I am overjoyed
when you offer to me the gift of your praise.

Amen.
