A
PRAYER FOR STAYING SPIRITUALLY CENTERED
Gracious
God, it seems that what most holds my attention are those things and
people that I can see, touch, hear, and feel. Yet,
in the moments of my day when my mind is still, my soul is quiet, and
my breath is slow and even, I can almost detect a whiff of your presence.
These precious times are all too fleeting; they slip away almost as quickly
as they come. The phone rings, my child cries, a colleague needs my assistance,
or my mind just simply gets distracted. Help me know, O God, that you
are still present with me, even in my distractions and interruptions.
But also help me savor those spiritually centered moments so much that
I will make room in my life for more of them. When I am impatient because
I can’t see, touch, hear, or feel you, let your love seep surely
into me until my heart turns back to you in surprise and delight. Amen.
