Saturday - 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......

This world is yours, planned in eternity
created in a moment of sheer exuberance
permeated with love
well made

This day is yours, pure generosity
given for moments of gentle reflection
in the bustle of a day
well made

Bring to God your closest friends and family.
Extend your thoughts to those you’ve not heard from for some time.
Let your prayer spread like a wave to encompass all those whose lives you have touched.

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46: 10)

Choose a meditation

Alone with none but thee, my God
I journey on my way.
What need I fear, when thou art near
O king of night and day?
More safe am I within thy hand
Than if a host did round me stand.

Columba, c 521-97
