Some unwelcome anxiety visited me recently. I grew restless, bothered and even fearful. But then I recalled a song and let it play, and soon this prayer became my prayer and the anxiety fleeted.
What I learnt here is that one way of praying is by being open and availing in oneself, space for the Spirit to work. Furthermore, this doesn’t always require words or gestures, merely presence and sincere desire.
God will take care of the rest.
This is my desire:
To honour you.
In my waking at first light.
Through each task before me,
Whether a challenge or easy.
In every word and thought
Every blessing and every greeting
In every grit and every grace
No matter the score
In victories or loss
In worry or doubt
In confidence or contentment
Until the cloak of night
At the end of the day.
This is my desire:
To honour you.
Where have you been open to God?
