Centering Prayer
“Be
still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37: 7
and wait patiently for him to act.” Psalm 37: 7
Lord,
help me to relax.
Take
from me the tension
that makes peace impossible.
Take from me the fears
that do not allow me to venture.
Take from me the worries
that blind my sight.
Take from me the distress
that hides your joy.
that makes peace impossible.
Take from me the fears
that do not allow me to venture.
Take from me the worries
that blind my sight.
Take from me the distress
that hides your joy.
Help
me to know
that I am with you,
that I am in your care,
that I am in your love,
that you and I are one.
that I am with you,
that I am in your care,
that I am in your love,
that you and I are one.
