Came across this prayer in David Runcorn’s book, Spirituality Workshop (London: SPCK, 2006). The sanctification of tedium, and the consecration of the ordinary, and the acceptance of times of boredom, are each part of what makes time and circumstance important media for our experience of God. The prayer is on page 149.
Creator God
Whose gift of life is found as much in tedium as in glory,
teach us to be faithful in the most ordinary tasks of life,
and to consecrate our bordeom to your service
lest in mistaking dullness for your absence, we lose heart
and in confusing excitement for your presence, we lose faith.
For the glory of your name
in all the world
Amen
