Tuesday, May 30

O Lord, in my heart of hearts
Help me to find the strength
Of gentleness –
The kindness that overcomes,
The patience that waits,
The smile that knows only love.
Amen

Wednesday, May 31

You took my place, Lord Jesus,
When You died for me on the cross.
You took my place, Lord Jesus,
When You died so I might live.
Empty me of myself, I pray,
So it is no longer I who live.
Take my place, Lord Jesus,
Be my life.
Amen

Thursday, June 1

Speak to me, Lord, in the silence
Of the early morning,
In the softly growing light.
Quiet the noise of my worries,
The cries of my sadness,
And the groans of my pain.
Quiet my mind and heart
So that I can hear the gentle songs
Of birds that neither sow nor reap,
But still are fed by Your hand.
Speak to me, Lord, with silence,
So I can listen with only peace.
Amen

Friday, June 2

Lord Jesus,
You are light in the darkness,
Light that shows the way.
Help me also to see Your light
In the daytime,
In a sparrow,
In a smile or a tear,
And in the neighbor.
Amen

    Thank you for the reminder that God is in the sound of the birds singing and in the silence that we invite into our hearts when our mind busily chatters with worries and overthinking life.

    Thank you for these beautiful prayers that are reminders to be still, listen to the birds, and to be at peace. So important in these trying times to do.

  • Thank you for the prayers which remind us to be thankful for each day and most importantly to God.. Amen. 🙏
