Jesus,

Thank you for what has been given.

For questions asked,

And those still forming.

For new truth discovered,

And mysteries swirling. 

For wisdom shared, 

And a space for learning.

Keep what is good within me.

Guard me from arrogance.

Help me discern what is helpful, 

And what can be left behind.

As I leave this place,

I release what I cannot carry right now,

the distractions,

the disappointments,

the due dates.

Make room within me

for what comes next.

Open my eyes to those around me,

my ears to your voice;

grant me awareness of your presence,

and make my mind and heart ready to receive

again.

May I learn with humility,

listen with grace,

and grow in love.

For every step belongs to you.

Amen.
