Lord, slow my steps today, let me pause a moment
from the daily
rush of this busy world
and take time to really see You.
Steady my gaze that I may see the tenderness in Your eyes.
Open my ears that I may hear Your gentle voice speaking
peace
to my soul.
Still my thoughts that I may discern the love that flows from
Your
heart for me, and
Prepare my heart to receive Your goodness and sweetness.
Lift up my head that I may feel the gentle showers of Your
mercy
and grace flowing down upon me.
Bend my knees that I may bow before You in adoration of
Your
holiness and purity.
Fill my voice with songs of praise for your majesty and glory.
Quicken my memory that I may attest to Your great
faithfulness.
Clear my vision that I may observe the beauty of Your
creation.
Calm my spirit that I may remain in awe of Your mighty power.
Empower me with Your Holy Spirit to do Your bidding that I
may
know the joy of serving You.
Channel Your love through me to others as I go along life's
way
that they may see You and know
You.
Wash me in the cleansing fountain of Your Son's precious
blood
that I might be fit to behold
Your divine face
