Awareness in the Workplace
This week we are praying through a prayer by Kenneth Phifer.
“Lord, this is a shouting world.
There are voices of rage and of protest.
There are voices of defiance and of contempt.
How carefully I sift out the shouting, ignore the screaming.
Make me listen, O God, I pray.
You are the Creator of us all, and sometimes the voices of anger carry messages from you.
Enable me to be a listener, I ask.
For in listening I may find direction and guidance.”
War and rage continue to be a part of the fabric of our world; we seem accustomed to destruction and devastation -- people continuing to act out the anger within with hands and voices. From the comfort and relative quiet of our surroundings we listen to a world of people shouting at us, trying to say things that are difficult to hear. Here in our workplace the shouting will be muffled, weakened by disease, but still very present. Listen closely today to shouts and screams, softened so much that we can easily miss them. God bless you.
