I have savored, shared, and prayed this meditation since the late 70’s when I was a student at GTU in Berkeley. Hope it resonates with you.
I Rest This Day in God
I do not seek the comfort of a guarantee that all my tomorrows
will be safe, and sure, that strength will be mine at a single time
to carry all my needs in the days ahead. This would be much, too much
for such a one as I.
I rest this day in God.
I put in a single place all the pieces of my erring ways,
the urgent thoughts both good and bad, together with my rights and wrongs.
All in a single place they go. Here they lie where all is loss
and all is gain, for they are mine. As for me—
I rest this day in God.
I do not seek to cast aside the burdens which are mine,
to find some easy way to lift the heavy load,
to shift to other backs what has found its way upon my own.
They are mine, shaped and fashioned in their own sure place- why?
I am never sure.
I rest this day in God.

Your meditation is beautiful. This is one I like from St. Teresa.
Let nothing trouble you,
let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who possesses God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
Love, Kathy

Kale…really ! A friend has a recipe for unusual vegetables: 1. clean vegetable carefully 2. cook completely 3. transfer to back yard and compost it !
