An Invitation to Stillness
This week our devotions focus on the significance of taking time for continued development of spiritual awareness.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God."
A song from an ancient seeker
Tuesday: Taking time through a simple prayer
Recently I discovered this simple prayer, authored by David Whyte. Take some time with it today. Read it; then be still and after a time of meditation, read it again. Repeat this three times today. It is helping me with my awareness of the Holy.
Enough. These few words are enough.
If not these words, this breath.
If not this breath, this sitting here.
This opening to the life
We have refused
Again and again
Until now.
Until now.
I pray that you will have a good day.
A Prayer: Holy God, teach me stillness. Amen.
