Wednesday - 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......

Lord of the morning
of dawn chorus
rising sun
mist on water
day begun
Lord of the noontime
of chattering voices
laughter and fun
sparkling water
everyone
Lord of the evening
of quiet breeze
setting sun
gentle waters
day that's done

Commit each moment of this day to the Lord, both highs and lows. How do you react when things go wrong? Are you someone who can praise God for the good times as well as the bad?

Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. (Psalm 34: 11-14)

Choose a meditation

My Lord and my God, take me from all that keeps me from thee.
My Lord and my God, grant me all that leads me to thee.
My Lord and my God, take me from myself and give me completely to thee

Nicholas of Flue (1417-87)
