Audio for today's Pause for Prayer
Sometimes when I'm praying,
I imagine Jesus sitting next to me
on a park bench,
in a quiet place, in the shade,
on a beautiful day...
Sometimes we just sit there together,
just Jesus and me,
in the silence...
Sometimes I pour out my heart to him,
sharing my troubles and worries
and he listens to every single word...
Sometimes I savor a recent joy
or a moment of peace
and I thank him for it...
Sometimes I ask to be forgiven
and his heart of mercy pardons me…
and his heart of mercy pardons me…
Sometimes I pray for someone else
whose cares I place in Jesus’ hands…
Sometimes I just listen
and he speaks from his heart to mine...
Sometimes when I listen
I hear nothing
except the simple silence of his presence
and often,
that's word enough to bring me peace...
And sometimes
we just sit,
Jesus next to me,
in a quiet place, in the shade,
on any day...
One thing I know is this:
every time I go to pray
he's always there,
waiting for me...
He's always on time,
he's never late,
never in a hurry
and he's willing to stay as long as I like...
Close your eyes,
go to the park, over where it's shady,
and find the bench where Jesus
is waiting for you...
Just close your eyes
and pray...
(Just realized I posted a version of this not too long ago:
hope it's still helpful even as it comes 'round again so soon!)
