Centering
Prayer
When
nothing is right,
when
we are weary and lost,
when
clouds dull the sky,
help
us to be still.
When
our cries are unheeded,
when
no effort bears fruit,
when
the sun sets,
help
us to be still.
When
love is over,
when
hope is gone,
when
darkness covers the land,
help
us to be still.
For
in being still,
in
refusing to panic or despair,
we
shall come to know that God is there,
suffering
alongside and with us,
waiting
to show us stepping-stones through the swirling waters,
and
to help us sing a new song.
