A Prayer for Friday, January 29, 2016

Quiet

O God,

There is so much noise.
There are so many voices.
There is so much turmoil.

Please build and maintain
a quiet place in my spirit
to which I can retreat.

Let it be a place where I can
always commune with you.

Let it be a place where I can
always rest in your love.

I don’t ask to retreat
from the world.

I ask rather to retreat
within the world.

Then, let me go in the strength I
gain in that quiet place to be a peaceful
and helpful presence in the chaos.

Amen.
