Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 11/5

 

Did I remember 

    to pack my faith when I moved?

I'm in a new place, Lord:

    I have a new address, 

    a new place I call home...

 

I live in a new neighborhood:

    no longer in the suburbs,

    I'm in the heart of the city...

 

I have new housemates - 5 dozen!

    And despite our common history

    we're as different as our finger prints...

 

So many different sights and sounds

    right outside my door

    - I'm not in Wayland anymore!

 

New opportunities, new choices:

    new paths to walk, new sights to see,

    - new ways for me to be with thee!

 

(Couldn't pass up the rhyme!) 

 

But the thing is, Lord:

    regardless of all that's new,

        I'm still the same old me

    and regardless of all that's changing

        you're ever and always 

            my Lord and God,

                ever and always the same... 

 

So, will my new environment 

    open my heart anew, afresh

        to your mercy, grace and peace?

 

Will my change of zip code

    draw my eye, my mind, my soul

        closer to you and your word?

 

Lord, this I know:

    you're always there

        wherever I may be;

here, there or anywhere

    you're by my side,

        folding me into your arms...

 

So in any way and in every way

    you draw me to your side,

give me the grace to follow you

    with new and deeper faith...

 

Amen.
