PRAYER MOMENT
Saturday 17 May
2013
Pause. Be still.
Your life is a gift. Whether you are sick or well, rich or poor, in prison or
out of it, you are alive. Give thanks.
Reading. “If I
want him to stay behind till I come, what does it matter to you? You are to
follow me.” (John 21:20-25)
Reflection. You
worry, perhaps, about many things: family, relationships, work, health and the
like? These are all important but you can do nothing about them by worrying.
Once you have done what you can in such matters, leave them be. Open your door
to life as it is now. Go deeper than your worries. Rejoice in your being. Trust
life. All will be well.
Prayer. Thank you for the gift of life. Thank you
for the people I know, who are part of my life. Thank you too for all the
people alive, rich and poor, young and old, healthy and sick, near and far.
Help me to trust life. Help me to engage in the world with all my heart,
intelligence and strength. But let me not worry too much about success or
failure, fame or misunderstanding, comfort or hardship. Grant me a peaceful
heart.
