Simplicity
"See how the flowers of the field grow."
— Matthew 6:28
Lord of simplicity,
My life is often too complicated. Too many things, too many obligations, too many worries. This complexity exhausts me and distances me from what's essential.
Teach me simplicity. To distinguish the necessary from the superfluous, to lighten my life to breathe better. Fewer possessions but more freedom, less noise but more peace.
May I live more simply. Appreciate simple pleasures, be content with little, find richness in the essential.
Amen.
