God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies grey and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage.
Flood the path with light, run our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of comradeship with heroes and saints of every age; and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to Your honour and glory.
-Augustine

So beautiful and poetic. Lord help us to take our eyes off our circumstances and place them on Jesus where we’ll find hope and love and peace and joy and a reason to keep carrying our cross.
May the weighty notes of pain be replaced with angelical notes from above.
