Presence 10: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerSample

Busy

As we spend time together throughout this five day plan it would be good to prepare ourselves before God, to be still, create space to pray, listen and be changed.We lead busy lives and sometimes need the discipline of slowing down, putting time aside and being at peace with our Father.

In Psalm 61 King David writes that his soul finds rest in God, that salvation and hope come from him.There are moments when all we need to do in the craziness is stop, listen and simply be with God.

The music video that you are invited to view, reflects this idea. It begins frenetically and is full-on but as it continues, gradually, some of the musical features are stripped away and the film slows, allowing more space for the music and visual images to breathe. All of this inspired by the notion of slowing down and taking time to be with our Creator.

Lets Pray:

Lord help us to slow down and take a long, deep breath.

We thank you that we find rest in you, when we take a moment to be with you.

It’s in your presence we find clarity and feel secure.

In these coming days I pray that I will be open to change,

That you will open my ears to hear your whisper,

That you will open my heart to feel as you do,

For you are my rock, my salvation and my hope.

Amen
