Saint Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received,

and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be confident knowing you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into your bones,

and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

Dear God,

Can I not be busy?

I feel like I've lost sight of what's really important and am just busy busy busy everyday. A church leader once described the acronym BUSY as Being Under Satan's Yoke. I agree with that, because, God, I know you have promised me an abundant life - life to its fullest. You know how tired I am, God, and You did not plan this for me, did You? I know You didn't.

But I thank You for understanding what I go through when I get so busy and neglect. I thank You that You still have time for me even when I have 'no time for You'. I'm sorry, God, for ignoring my responsibilities towards you while fulfilling my duties to Man. Please teach me how to get my priorities right.

I commit the time I have to You.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
