First Sunday of Advent – December 1, 2024
Prayer In The Stillness
Leader: I invite you to get in a comfortable position of rest.
I invite you to get as quiet and still as you can.
I invite you to a deep breath and a deep listening posture–perhaps eyes closed or fixed
on a candle–as we prepare for a time of prayer.
[pause for a breath]
The gentle pull of God is often lost amidst the rush
of all the obligations which lay a claim on us.
Yet just beyond the frantic pace our restless feet have trod
lie deep still pools of quietness–the dwelling place of God.
Meet me in the stillness, Lord
Be the air I breathe
Meet me in the stillness, Lord
Free me to receive
O take me to that secret place where lost in wonder and in awe,
the moment comes and I rejoice to be and be with God.
Meet me in the stillness, Lord
Be the air I breathe
Meet me in the stillness, Lord
Free me to receive
In the midst of the stillness, bring our hearts into your presence. We lift up all who are in need this day. May your love, your hope, your light, your care, be upon them.
And upon us as well. Amen.
Peace Be With You. – Paul
