relax

1 Unless the Lord builds a house,
    the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city,
    guarding it with sentries will do no good.

²  It is useless for you to work so hard
    from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
    for God gives rest to his loved ones.

psalm 127:1 and 2


Taken from todays devotion
slow me down, lord.  ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting or my mind.  steady my harried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.  give me, amidst the confusion of my day, the calmnes of the everlasting hills.  break the tension of my nerves with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory.  Help me to know the magical restoring power of sleep.   teach me the art of taking minute vacations of slowing down.  remind me each day  that the race is not always to the swift; that thete is more to life than increasing its speed.


father i pray that you help me in my day to day tasks to slow down and listen for your will.  I pray that i would never be in such a hurry that I fail to hear you, to spend time with my precious children, or my loving wife.  I pray that i always remember you are always beside me, and if life is to difficult for me to bear..you are there to carry me through!

amen
