Let Our Souls Find Rest In You

Forgive us, Gracious God, for allowing the distractions or pressures of our lives to crowd out our time in prayer with you every day.  You have taught us in the life of Jesus that no matter how busy we bercome, we NEED our time in pray in order to live faithful lives.  So even now, O Lord, we turn to you in prayer spending some quality time in your presence and waiting for your direction as to how we best spend this day.  Help us in the course of this day to remember often your words that show us the way you would have us serve you.  Most of all, let our souls find rest in you and the refreshment that keeps us from despair and gives us the assurance of your loving presence everywhere.  In Jesus' Name we do pray.  Amen.
