A PRAYER
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.
