God help me,
to discern when to say no
So that I can also say yes.
Help me do the junk,
the stuff that has to get done anyway.
But also…..
Help me to know when to draw
the boundaries that need to be drawn.
To be healthy
To hold firm
to say
No.
Simply
as a complete sentence.
So that when I want to
Say Yes, to something that I am called to
To something that is fulfilling and right
that I can say Yes.
No to overdoing
Yes to stretching
No to bullies
Yes to God.
No to Bigotry
Yes to Welcome
No to busywork
Yes to upholding, enouraging and supporting
No to perfection
Yes to good enough
No to doing everything
Yes to help
God, I give thanks, for all the Holy Nos, and all the Holy Yeses
In my Life.
Amen.
