Prayer for grandmothers

Father, Your word says the world keeps going by Your rule. The sun rises. The seasons change. You hold it all together. And You hold my small life together too. My breathing. My walking. My thinking. My praying. All of it is in Your hands today. Help me serve You with a calm heart, knowing all of creation is in Your care. The cardinal at my feeder is part of Your world. The kettle on my stove is part of my day. The friend who will call this afternoon is someone You love. Let me see my ordinary work as service to You. I am not here by accident. I am here because You placed me here. Let me take my place without asking for a different one. A servant's life is a satisfied life when she knows whose servant she is. I know whose. I serve gladly. Amen.
