Set aside some time for prayer... find a quiet place... take a few deep breaths... be still... and know that God is near...A word to reflect on:
What place have I found in my life for you, Lord?
What part of my day do I set aside to be with you,
to sit and talk with you?
Do I have a place for you in all the things I do each morning,
as I get ready to face the day?
Do I save a seat for you on the train or in my car
as I go to work?
When I'm home alone for the day,
do I invite you share my morning coffee?
Have I a place for you in my heart
with all its hurts and burdens, its hopes and joys?
Have I a place in my mind for your word,
your truth, your wisdom?
Do I find a place for you at the end of my day,
in prayer, as my eyes grow heavy
and I lay me down to sleep?
I know you have a place in your day for me, Lord...
I know you have a place in your heart
for me to rest my weary heart and find some peace...
I know you're never too busy to find a time and place
to sit with me... to be with me...
to listen to me... to speak to me...
Help me find a place today, Lord,
to slow down and be with you, if only for a few minutes...
Help me find some time and a place to be still,
before this day is done...
And in the stillness, help me find a place for you
in my mind and heart, in my fears and troubles
and in my hopes and dreams...
Help me be still today, Lord,
and in the quiet, help me find a place for you...
