Today’s Meditation – “I Will Not Hurry”, a simple prayer of meditation reminding us to see the beauty all around us. Scientists have proven that regular meditation slows the heart rate, promotes a positive spirit and helps relieve stress. This prayer of meditation came from the pocket prayer book that my mother gave to me on my birthday in 2007. It was a gift to her from my dad’s mother, Ellene, who received it from her pastor in 1963. I hope you can take a few moments to find joy in “I will not hurry”…
I Will Not Hurry
I will not hurry through this day!
Lord, I will listen by the way,
To humming bees and singing birds,
To murmuring trees and friendly words;
And for moments in between,
Seek glimpses of Thy great Unseen.
I will not hurry through this day,
I will take time to think and pray;
I will look up into the sky,
Where fleecy clouds and swallows fly;
And somewhere in the day, maybe I will catch whispers, Lord, from
Thee!
