Amid this day’s distractions,
all around me and within,
keep me mindful of your presence, Lord,
wherever I may be…
Keep me mindful of your care,
of your ever faithful vigil,
of all the ways you’re with me, Lord,
through the night and day…
Make me mindful of your whisper,
help me hear it in my heart:
words of grace to guard and guide me,
to keep me far from harm…
Keep me mindful of your Spirit,
moving, breathing in my soul,
always calling me and leading me
to walk the path you chart…
Make me mindful of my neighbors, Lord,
whose paths cross mine today:
help me tend their many needs
with a generous, open heart…
Clear my mind of its distractions
purge my heart of anxious fear,
make a quiet place within me, Lord,
where you and I can meet…
Keep me mindful of your presence,
help me just sit still and pray
’til I find you in the silence
and in you, Lord, find my peace…
Amen.
