I have no energy

Homework can wait.
Grading has been put off.
Kids are literally bouncing on top of my lethargic body.
Sleep escapes my grasp.
Lord renew me.
Grant my body serenty and peace.
Thank you Lord for a patient husband,
one who handles the things I cannot deal with at this moment.
Forgive me for my impatience today.
I ask for rest for my weary eyes.
I ask you to renew my strength, my passion, my playfulness.
Thank you for your cool presence in church,
the gentle reassurance that you are near.
I lean on you when I have no strength of my own.
I know this is temporary
yet you are eternal.
