Ever-present God,
Summer is a delight, a gift, and a challenge.
When I face changing demands and new situations, reassure me that you are there with me.
When I struggle with well-established patterns and routines, help me see possibilities.
Sustain me as I explore and learn.
While I take on new responsibilities or roles, care for me.
When I am tired from adventures and new experiences, help me rest.
When I am weary of familiar and predictable, help me persevere.
When I lose hope from too much or too little newness, show me your love.
Help me rely on your constant presence and unending love.
Amen.
