Slow me down, Lord!
Slow me down, Lord!
Ease the pounding of my heart by the quietening and calming of my mind. Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory. Give me, amidst the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Steady my hurried pace with a vision of your eternal reach of time, and restore and heal me in the hours of sleep. Teach me the art of appreciating what is ordinary: of slowing down to look at and become more aware of the beauty around me; to take time to be with others, to sit and enjoy music or a good book - to give myself time for myself. Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and the tortoise, that I may know that the race is not always to the swift; that there is more to life than increasing its speed. Let me look upwards into the branches of the towering trees and know that they grew great and strong because they grew slowly and well. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values. Slow me down, Lord, that I may grow true and well in your light. Amen.
