PRAYER FOR A BUSY DAY To view this resource, log in or sign up for a subscription plan
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 faith is a Sunday word and “Let’s be practical” my motto through the week,
When I have hidden my true feelings inside and then complained of being lonely and misunderstood./When I am quite hopelessly lost and don’t even have sense enough to know it —
Be my good shepherd and my friend./Gather up my jangled nerves, my tensed muscles, my anxious and fluttering heart.
Gather up my fearful heart and hold it warmly in your hand.
Send life pulsing through it like an irresistible flood.
Quicken me to a quivering blaze, excited and alive.
But show me how to be quiet, too.
Teach me to be still.
