sanctuary

"Create in me a quiet place, Lord. Hush the noise of my mind, the racing of my pulse, that my heart may be able to sense your 'still, small voice'. Slow me down, Jesus. I need to take time to see the beauty of creation- the perfect intensity of your care - that I may come to appreciate and be thankful.

Teach me to listen, to the cries of those in need to the questions of the confused that I may learn compassion. In this unquiet world help me to find a quiet place and a quiet time. Lord I need to hear the counsel of your spirit the poetry of your love so that I may have something to share with those who cannot hear you."
