Spending Time with God - A Nighttime Prayer

“The Lord said, go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by. Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” -- 1 Kings 19:11-12 (NIV)
Please Pray:
Oh Lord, you know my heart better than I know it myself. You know my struggles and you hold each hope and fear in your caring hands. Teach me, LORD, to be still and to know that You are God.
Replace my restless doing with inner calm, and help me, like Mary, to sit at your feet in your presence even if there are a million things clamoring for my attention. Just as you spoke over the tumultuous sea and storms, so speak peace over my heart. In your mighty name, Amen.
