create in me a quiet place, Lord.
hush the babble of my mind the racing of my pulse that my heart may be able to sense your 'still, small voice'.
slow me down.
i need to take time to see the beauty of creation- the exquisite intensity of your care - that i may come to appreciate and be thankful.
teach me to listen, Father to the cries of those in need to the questions of the confused that i may learn compassion.
in this unquiet world help me to find a quiet place and a quiet time.
Lord I need to hear the counsel of your spirit the poetry of your love so that i may have something to share with those who cannot hear you.

thank you for posting this simple poem. sometimes in our own quiet places we truly realize the passion in God's heart; that a simple act such as a smile or a word of encouragement can speak more to a person than a thousand words without meaning. this poem teaches me that we often overlook the simple for something greater when instead, God wants to speak at a desired time in a quiet place.
