Wednesday, November 27, 2013 — Morning Prayer

From Isaiah 30:
For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.

From Janet Morley, All Desires Known

God of the weary
receive my tiredness.
God of the hungry
know my emptiness.
God of those in danger
hold my fear.
God of the silences
hear my despair
God of the heavy laden
give me rest.
God of the hopeful
fill me again with longing.

May the God of the Sabbath bring you rest and peace in you hope and trust today
