A Prayer for Beginnings & Endings
How the clock strikes at York Minster (photograph taken in 2012 on a visit to York University)
“God of all beginnings and all endings, I bring all my unfinished business to you—everything that I started and couldn’t finish, all that I began but lost interest in, all that I began in hope and quit in despair. Make finished work of all of it, by your grace. Amen.”
— Eugene Peterson, in The One Year Book of Encouragement: 365 Days of Inspiration and Wisdom for Your Spiritual Journey
