A PRAYER

In the peace of a new day, I seek for the Lord.

Quiet in the Morning

 

There’s a ‘hush’ on my home in the morning

                                     A quiet peace 

              No hint of  bustle of day yet to come.

Children with faces, composed,    

                                  like the beauty of angels,

                        have not yet awoken to the golden, first

                                       rays of the sun.

                         They lie in their beds in the half-dark,

                           claimed by sleep and totally at rest.

                    I stand here in the quiet of the morning.

                           I know this is the time I like best.

            For it is in the quiet of the morning,  when I

                                 seek my Father in Heaven,

                                 I take precious time to pray.

                     His Presence envelopes my senses, as soft

                               darkness unfolds the new day.

                                 I feel enriched and uplifted.

                    The things of this Earth lose their sting.

                             In the wonder and beauty of this

                            quiet in the morning, .

                               My God is part of all things.

               Now the day has begun – The house is a-stirring

                 – There will be bustle and rush everywhere-.

               There’ll be breakfast and demands from the

                                                    children

                             ‘Mum I can’t find a pencil’

Mum will you please part my hair’

                        In my heart there’s DEEP PEACE 

                                     which overrides

                                                     care.

                        For I met with my God in the quiet of the

                                                    morning,

                          He listened and ministered in the stillness.

                        Yes, He listened and answered me in my

                                  quiet in the morning time prayer.

 

PEACE AND STILL. PRESENCE OF GOD....... HE IS PART OF ALL THINGS. a-men.
