A moment of stillness before the day begins…

 

All’s quiet.

Abba – guide my feet today,

Wake my heart today,

Open my eyes today.

Use me.

Let me be what the people around me need.

 

I’m exhausted.

Close my eyes, fall asleep in my chair,

Head in hand, can’t turn the page

Exhausted.

Equip me for today.

Meet my needs

So You can then

Meet the needs of my world

Through me.

 

Teach me when to slow down,

Tell me when to say no,

And show me clearly

When to step forward in faith

Letting You be my all.

Because without You I’ve got nothing.

Without You I would be nothing.

Just another human

Trying to hold her life together

Under the centrifugal force

Of the world’s steady whirlwind spin.

 

I can’t do it.

Only You can.

So again

I sit here on the Rock

Resting

Waiting

Listening

Preparing

 

In a moment of stillness

Before the day begins.
