We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and
restlessness.
God is the friend of silence.
~~Mother Teresa
This
morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest
Christian Women Writers of All Time.
Prayer
can be confusing, intimidating, and misunderstood. But it wasn’t that way for
Mother Teresa. For her, it was a matter of just sitting silently before her
loving heavenly Father.
We
too are invited to sit in an intimate place of stillness. God knows our fear
and pain as he gazes on us. We know his power and love as we gaze back at him.
Nothing has changed, yet everything has changed.
Most
have never experienced prayer that way. We dash into God’s presence with a
gigantic list of needs and wants. By spending that time being seen and known,
we are able to lay down the stuff we carried in and leave knowing it is being
handled. We may choose to pick it up later, but that will be our choice. Today,
gaze at your Savior. Rest all of your cares with the One who gazes back at you.
Prayer
for Meditation
Father, I need to find rest in you. Help
me to come boldly and sit.
Scripture
for Meditation
The one thing I ask of the LORD—the thing I seek most—is to live
in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD’s
perfections and meditating in his Temple. Psalm 27:4
