While A friend of mine shared with me this prayer. He didn’t know the origin or author, but I’m glad he shared it with me. I have called it “A Prayer for a Quiet Heart in a World of Chaos.” Over the last few mornings, this has been my centering prayer for the day.
A Prayer for a Quiet Heart in a World of Chaos by Author Unknown
Slow me down Lord Ease the pounding of my heart By the quieting of my mind With a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me amidst the confusion of my day The calmness of the everlasting hills Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles With the soothing music of the singing streams That live in my memory.
Help me to know The magical restoring power of sleep Teach me the art Of taking minute vacations Of slowing down to look at a flower To chat with a friend To pat a dog To read a few lines from a good book.
Remind me each day of the fable Of the hare and the tortoise That I may know that the race Is not always to be swift That there is more to life Than measuring speed.
Let me look upward Into the branches of the towering oak And know that it grew great and strong Because it grew slowly and well.
Slow me down Lord And inspire me to send my roots Deep into the soil Of life’s enduring values That I may grow towards the starts Of my enduring destiny.
