Prayer of Old
Where can I go from God’s spirit?
Where can I flee from God’s presence?
--Questions raised by a songwriter (Psalm 139: 7)
Today’s devotional life takes us back almost 500 years. This is a prayer of Saint Teresa of Avila:
“Let nothing disturb you
Nothing frighten you,
All things are passing;
Patient endurance
Attains all things:
One whom God possesses
Wants nothing
For God alone suffices.”
