| From our Pastor... |
It’s at odds with our culture. It’s illogical. It’s the last thing we’d think of as an answer to the problem.
God’s design, though, is for you and me to get away, alone, quiet, and still. Really often. Like, every day.
It takes heaps of effort, lots of practice, and plenty of time. But to cultivate a daily still, quiet time with just you and God and nothing or no-one else is one of the most life-giving, perspective-restoring, health-preserving, God-honouring habits you could ever form.
Oftentimes I use a book of prayers, in the morning, or at night. Take a look at these precious words:
‘Bless us with strength to live this day in the spirit of ceaseless prayer and the struggle of the beatitudes. Keep us from all evil and hide us from its lures of comfort and honour, of power and success. Deepen our love for you and for one another and open our eyes to discern the pathways into which you are calling us. May your grace joined with our sincere effort continue to fulfil our ancient destiny and keep us conscious, honest, simple, merciful. Amen.’
Or, late at night, last thing before bed: ‘Day’s end brings us to you, O Trinity of love, grateful for the hours of grace you have given us this day. We commit its successes and its failures into your hands for healing, for reconciling, for forgiveness, and as an offering.’
Seriously, you can’t do something more valuable than pursuing the habit of a daily quiet time – time for you and God, by yourselves, quiet, and still. Listening, reading his word, praying, and worshipping. You really can’t.
Give it a try?
