Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 6/7

 

Lord,

it's taken too many decades

til I've truly welcomed your grace

    astir in my heart,

    restless in my soul,

    patiently waiting

to move me to joy

    in the midst of my troubles,

to lead me to peace

    when my burdens are many,

to know your healing

    while my heart's still aching,

to rest content

    in my discontent,

to trust in your presence

    when I cannot find you...

Too many decades

   to come to this time and finally find

      peace greater than I've ever known,

      joy deeper that I'd ever imagined,

      love stronger than what I deserve...

 

Too many decades

   but now, in your time

     which is right on time,

   now, not too late

      (only why not before?)

   now, in this moment

      (may it never end!)

   now, in your grace

      this gift freely given,

   now, in your arms

      so strong and embracing,

   now, yes right now

      and as never before,

   now, hear my praise, Lord,

      my heart's grateful song,..

   now in this moment,

      the day you have made... 

 

Amen.
