Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Teach me, God to make room for you in all the
events and affairs of my days. Then I
shall find rest. Then I will be at peace
with myself and with you. (Norman Shawchuck in A Guide To Prayer for All Who
Seek God)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Psalm 18:16-19
Reading for Reflection:
Spaciousness is always a
beginning, a possibility, a potential, a capacity for birth. Space exists not in order to be filled but to
create. In space, to the extent we can
bear the truth of the way things are, we find the ever-beginning presence of
Love. Take the time, then; make the
space. Seek it wherever you can find it,
do it however you can. The manner does
not matter, and the experience you have there is of secondary importance. Seek the Truth, not what is comfortable. Seek the Real, not the easy. (The Awakened
Heart by Gerald G. May)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Ever-present God, with all of creation I immerse
myself in you. I let go of both the past
and the future and leave all of my concerns in your strong and loving
hands. Allow me to fully enter into this
space and this time. Allow me to fully
be with you, here and now. In the name
of Jesus. Amen.
