Pause for Prayer: FRIDAY 1/13


    Mother Theresa of Calcutta

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Way too often, Lord,

I’m so busy and
distracted 


or stuck in my past 

or worried about tomorrow


that I miss 

    how you’re moving in my
life,


    what you’re doing in my
life,


    how you’re acting in my
life


and I miss all the ways  

    you’re sustaining me,

    guiding me,

    drawing me to trust in you…


Your love springs forth
 
but I don’t see it,
don’t perceive it,
I fail to recognize it,
I
miss
it…

So, slow me down, Lord,
 
and get my attention:
    rescue me from living in the past,
    from my anxiety about the day at hand,
    from my worries and
fears about tomorrow…
Open my mind, my eyes and my ears, 
open my heart lest I miss again 
how you’re with me, Lord, here and now,
in the moment at hand,
how you’re with me, Lord
– today…

Today’s the day that you’ve made,
Lord,


the day at hand, the day I live,
your gift to me today:
let me rejoice in it and be at peace,
just one day at a time…
