Friday - Daily Prayers

Take a moment to listen to the still small voice of God within the bustle of the day which has begun. Find a quiet place where you can enjoy precious moments of peace in God's presence. Sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the world around you, both outside and in the place where you are. Breathe slowly and rest in God's presence......

Be my vision, Lord
this day and every day
The centre of my life
The focus of my thoughts
Be my wisdom, Lord
inspiration of my words
every situation
your Spirit my support

Spend a moment asking God for real wisdom for this day, in the words you use, the decisions that you will make and the actions that you will take.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. (Psalm 46:1-3)

Choose a meditation

Set our hearts on fire with love of thee, O Christ our God, that in that flame we may love thee with all our heart, with all our mind, with al our soul, and with all our strength, and our neighbours as ourselves; so that, keeping thy commandments, we may glorify thee, the giver of all good gifts.
