A Quiet Prayer

Something that came to me this morning. I hope you enjoy it.

Before the sun comes up
And the noisy day begins,
In the quiet of the darkness
The press of ‘hurry’ thins.

Listen in the stillness
For the soft beloved voice
That so often is forgotten
As we face life’s every choice.

A simple prayer for guidance
A simple prayer for hope
A simple prayer for loved ones,
As they struggle still to cope.

Before taking up the burden
That comes with each new day
Pause for just a moment
To hear what He has to say.
