Lord, just a few moments with You,
a few thoughts shared between us,
the sense of Your friendship can be more healing
and refreshing than a mountain scene,
easing my body, soothing my anxious mind.
There are days though it’s not easy,
Lord, especially in the mornings
if I awake anxious or worried,
or when I haven’t slept well,
if at all and the day lies long before me.
Refresh me, Lord,
with the goodness of Your presence.
Lord, help me though the day.
Amen.
– By a Columban Missionary
