Pause for Prayer: MONDAY 8/28

 

         Our hearts are restless, Lord, 

            until they rest in you...
Good morning, good God!
Today, Lord, I offer you my restless heart…

My heart is restless, Lord,
    until it rests in you…
My heart is anxious
    until it rests in your deep peace…

My heart grieves
    until it rests in you, my joy…
My heart worries
    until it rests and trusts in you…
My heart is marked by sin
    until it rests in your deep mercy… 
My heart is jealous
    until it rests, made whole in you…
My heart is tired

    until it rests in you, my strength 

My heart doubts
    until it rests in you, my truth…
My heart is wounded
    until it rests, healed by your embrace…
My heart waits
    until it rests in you for whom I wait…
So, I offer you my restless heart:
    my anxious, grieving, worried, heart,
    my sinful, jealous, tired heart,
    my doubtful, wounded, waiting heart…
My heart, indeed, is restless, Lord,
    until it rests in you:
in your strong and gentle, holy, loving,
    wise and wounded, healing, boundless,
        gracious and forgiving heart… 
I offer you my restless heart, Lord:
    help me find my rest in you…

You dwell in songs that we are singing, 
Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart. 
Our praises filling up the spaces
 
In between our frailty and everything You are
 
You are the keeper of my heart

 
And I’m restless, I’m restless
Til I rest in You, ’til I rest in You
 
I am restless, I’m restless
 
‘Til I rest in You, ’til I rest in You
 
Oh God, I wanna rest in You

 
Oh, speak now for my soul is listening
 
Say that You have saved me, 
whisper in the dark, the dark.
 
‘Cause I know You’re more than my salvation
 
Without you I am hopeless, tell me who You are,
You are the keeper of my heart
 
You are the keeper of my heart

 
And I’m restless, I’m restless
 
‘Til I rest in You, ’til I rest in You
 
I am restless, I’m restless

 
‘Til I rest in You, ’til I rest in You, 
Oh
I wanna rest in You

 
Still my heart, hold me close
 
Let me hear, a still small voice 
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry

 
Still my heart, hold me close 
And let me hear, a still small voice 
And let it grow, let it rise
 
Into a shout, into a cry

 
And I am restless, I’m restless 
‘Til I rest in You, let me rest in You 
And I am restless, so restless
Til I rest in You, ’til I rest in You, Oh God
 
Let me rest in You.
