For All My Busy People…
Dear God,
When the day is too busy and the voices too loud, when there is too much on my mind and too little in my heart, when I plan too much for tomorrow and explain too much about yesterday, when I have hidden my true feelings inside and then complained of being lonely and misunderstood, be my good shepherd and my friend.
Gather up my jangled nerves, my tensed muscles, my anxious and fluttering heart. Send life pulsing through me like an irresistible flood.
But show me how to be quiet, too. Teach me to be still. In deep stillness let me rest. Let silence surround me like a friend, calming me and instructing me with deeper wisdom from within.
When my day is too busy and the voices are all too loud, be my good shepherd and my friend.
Amen
