Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 6/28

Sometimes when I'm praying, Lord,

I imagine you sitting next to me on a park bench

in a quiet place, 

on a beautiful day...

Sometimes we just sit there,

just the two of us,

in the silence...

Sometimes I pour out my heart to you
and share my troubles and worries 

and you listen...

Sometimes I savor recent joys 

or moments of peace 
and I offer you my thanks

and you listen...

Sometimes I just listen

and you speak,

from your heart to mine...

Sometimes when I listen 

I hear nothing 
except the simple silence of your presence 
and sometimes,

that's word enough to bring me peace...

And sometimes, Lord,

you and I just sit...

One thing I know

is that I never have to wait for you:
you're always there on the park bench 

waiting for me...

And you're never in a hurry,

you're pleased to stay 

as long as I like,

as long as I need...

And you listen, Lord,

you listen with all of your heart,

even when my silence

is the only prayer I make...

You listen...
