This is the way

Isaiah 30:21

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it.”

Everyone experiences mood swings. Learning to keep your thoughts and feelings in a proper perspective is all part of the life of prayer.  When we stop having conversations with the Lord we cut ourselves off from his life giving Spirit. The amazing thing is that even in the midst of a busy day, with many voices seeking to attract your attention, if you listen, you can hear in the silence one voice above the many, saying every so softly - ‘this is the way, walk in it”

 

Good morning Lord,

where has the sunshine gone?

Its Monday morning

My bones feel weary

My head feels heavy 

Forgive me if I look tired

I’m not really ‘good’ on Monday mornings

Can I take these moments to go into myself 

to say nothing - to keep silent?

 

Lord,

It’s here in the silence of my head

I hear you speak

We make eye contact

I begin to see things in perspective

It is here in the silence

You lighten up the darkness

And the sun shines

And I taste the flavours of your grace

And the mist lifts 

And the black dog disappears
 

Come Holy Spirit of God

Awake my soul to sing of your goodness

Let your light so shine in your church

Let it begin with me this Monday morning!
