Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 7/7

 

I love all the little things others do

    to lighten my load and brighten my day

but I often miss, I overlook, 

    all the little things, Lord, you do for me

        in the course of my day-to-day...

 

While I wait some dramatic intervention

    in the story of my humble life,

I miss each day the scores of ways you:

    whisper your word in my heart,

    open my eyes to beauty,

    lead my mind to truth,

    invite me to walk by your side,

    open my ears to music,

    lift me up when I'm down,

    give me a second chance, 

    guide me when I'm lost,

    touch my grief with joy,

    catch me when I'm falling,

    mend some broken part in me,

    spark my will to move on,

    shine your light in my darkness,

    help me find reason to hope,

    nudge me when I'm really stuck,

    give me good cause to smile,

    steady my faltering step,

    calm me in my anxiety,

    give me a second wind,

    share a bit of your wisdom,

    heal my heart with your mercy,

    comfort me in my sadness,

    lead me to trust in your love,

    counsel me in my confusion

- and a hundred other little things, Lord,

    many more than I can count... 

 

Open me up to know you, Lord,

in all the small ways 

you fill my day

with your presence,

your peace

and your promise...

And help me, Lord, find my true joy

    in the little things

        I  do for others...

Amen.

OK - some might think this song a little to precious- but I'm going with it! I hope you'll give it a listen - and a look-see!
