3 prayers by Angela Ashwin to tune your heart to God’s voice – in the day-to-day, in the Scriptures and in the stillness.
Jesus my Teacher,
guide me along your way,
and help me to piece together
the jigsaw of life in your kingdom.
When I make decisions,
lead me to the heart of the matter,
and when I face conflict,
do not let my own panic drown out
the still, small voice of your wisdom.
by Angela Ashwin, from The Book of a Thousand Prayers, #143
Thank you, Lord, for the gift of the Scriptures.
As I reflect on the Bible,
make me open to your wisdom,
receptive to your will
and courageous in my response;
in the love of Jesus,
Rabbi, Teacher, Friend.

Lord, make us people of stillness.
Help us to be empty before you,
that we may be filled with your peace;
teach us to be quiet in your presence,
that we may listen to your words;
and give us confidence to expose our whole being to you,
and meet you in the silence.
