Heartsong of the Soul

Holy God,
As I begin another day grant me sensitivity
To the beat of my heart
To the pulse of my spirit
To the words that are spoken
To the silent words of Spirit presence

As I begin another day grant me courage
To rise above the noise of chaos and hear your voice
To look beyond the clutter of cosmos and see your realm
To feed not so much on food for body, but on the fruit of your Spirit
To feel, amid warfare and confusion, the calm of inner peace

As I begin another day grant me wisdom
To be silent, allowing the sojourner to hear their heartsong
To be sensitive, empowering the sojourner to follow their heartsong
To be compassionate, embracing the sojourner when hearing and following must wait
To be alive with Your radiance which empowers Your creation minute by minute.
