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.
