Balance

"There is a time for everything."

— Ecclesiastes 3:1

God of wisdom,

Finding balance is a constant challenge. Between work and rest, between giving and receiving, between action and contemplation. I often lean too much one way.

Help me find balance. Not a perfect and rigid equilibrium, but a constant adjustment that respects all my needs. Balance is dynamic, not static.

May I recognize when I lose balance and have the courage to readjust. A time for everything, everything in its time.

Amen.

Reflection

In what area of your life do you lack balance? What could you readjust?

For all those seeking balance in their lives.
