Noise 12-9-2024

Good Morning Father God,

Yesterday, after church and a quiet day, I found myself in a very reflective and peaceful place. Thank You for the gift of being raised in faith where going to church is an important and integral part of my life. I pray for all to find a church home and community to provide the love, guidance and nourishment we all need.

On this Monday morning though, I seem to hear nothing but noise. Some of the noise is within me, looking at calendars, appointments, paying bills and looking through the mail. Please help us to deal effectively with the “noise” of the world. Help us to realize that the noise is a distraction from our real nature and purpose. While we can’t stop the noise, help us to effectively navigate through the noise, while still hearing Your voice and following Your path.

Help us to find moments of calm, peace and clarity. Whisper to us when our emotions and thoughts become chaotic. Be our companion and guide today as we prioritize all of the pieces of our lives.

We pray today that we find some of the calm, peace and joy in the midst of all the things and distractions clamoring for our time and attention. Let our mid day lunch be a time to reset and restore as we navigate through the afternoon. Be with us and hold us tight in Your loving arms.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray and ask these things; Amen.
