Lord,
Teach us how to pray. There’s a busy part of us that urges us to be always out doing something. But you’ve told us that being quiet with you is essential too. How can we know what you want us to do if we don’t take time out to listen to you? Help us not to be afraid of what we might learn if we are still. Let our lives be a work of peace because we have discovered you and ourselves in you.
