Pause for Prayer: SATURDAY 1/9

Pause for Prayer: SATURDAY 1/9


Lord,
I know your Spirit is with me 24/7, 365:
    pushing and pulling me,
    prompting and prodding me,
    nudging and urging me
        to love what’s good,
        to do the next right thing,
        to speak the truth,
        to help my neighbor,
        to choose wisely,
        to lift my heart in prayer
        and to walk humbly, always by your side…


But so often,


too often, Lord:


    I’m deaf to your voice,


    blind to your presence


    and too busy, too lazy,


    too foolish and self-absorbed


to see, to hear and to notice


    all the ways your Spirit moves in me,


    around me, above me, before me, and through me
    24/7, 365…

So today, Lord  – if only for today:
    open my ears and my eyes,
    open my imagination my prayer,
    open my heart and my soul
        to your Spirit,
        living and breathing in me
        24/7, 365…

  
Amen.
