Faith & Mission
Weekly Prayer
Slow me down, Lord!
Quieten my mind and steady my harried pace.
Give me the calmness of the everlasting hills and break the tension of my nerves with the soothing music of the singing streams.
Teach me the art of taking time out, to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to watch a spider build a web or to read a few chapters from a good book.
Remind me that the race is not always won by the swift, that there is more to life than increasing its speed.
Slow me down, Lord and inspire me to stop...breathe...and be present in this moment.
Amen
