Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 9/17

 

Lord,

not a day passes, 

not a night goes by

that you don't call me

by my name

to come and follow

where you lead,

to follow where you go...

So many things, Lord, hold me back:

my pride and my possessions, 

my faults and all my fears

and the people and many things

I long for and I lean on 

as if in them 

I'd find the peace

I long for more than all..

Help me find a quiet time and place

where I might hear you 

call my name 

and in your calling 

hear a promise 

sweeter, deeper, finer, Lord,

than any I have known,

more than anyone might offer...

Help me just let go 

and leave behind

whatever keeps me from your love

that I might rise 

and follow you

and in you find 

the peace I seek

with all my heart

and fill my heart at last

with the peace

that brings me home...

Amen.
