IF ONLY YOU WOULD LISTEN TODAY!

PRAYER PAUSE


Thursday 12 January 2017


IF ONLY YOU WOULD LISTEN TODAY!


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “If only you would listen to him today; do not harden your hearts.” (Hebrews 3:7 -14)



Reflection. Each day the Church opens its prayer with these words from Psalm 94 (95). It is a prayer for freshness; that we would approach each day as a new gift, something given to us to use, to create, to enjoy. We know how easy it is to “harden” our hearts, that is, to live each day in an unreflective routine, where we just react to people and events. We become “non-starters”, people who wait for others to start and then we follow in a predictable way. God invites us to be “creators” with him in building a “new heaven and a new earth.” We can do that in our own way each day.

Prayer. Lord, help us to see the “deep down freshness” in all things and find you waiting for us there. Amen
