spent quite a bit of the day in the cathedral praying and reading yesturday. it was up the top in the now familiar chapel in the 'triphorium', hosted by feig. i was alone most of the morning and it was good to be in God's presence without feeling rushed by my time schedule, or thinking that I needed to be anywhere or do anything.
(not that there's little to do!)
indeed, there is much to do. Hope08, connecting youth leaders, connecting leaders , refresh, newsletters, prayer and the like. its important to realise that i'm not the one in control. and in all this, i am not the important role. there's a good jars of clay song that goes:
'i'm only alive with you. i can't get by, and i wont get through'...
its so true. on my own all this would fall apart. But God is definately stirring my heart, letting it beat in a way that makes this season seem pivotal. its uncomfortable and heavy at times. and it races with excitement in others. This prayer was written:
Lord, don’t let me
Hinder what you want to do,
Don’t let my experience
Taint my trust in you
Don’t let my knowledge
Drown my belief and faith
Don’t let my routine
Interrupt the plans you make
In this place, let my heart beat with yours
Let my breath be your breath
As you speak may my mouth be opened.
This is your time, your day, your moment
take me out of control;
But steadfast in your hands
A instrument of your peace
A tabernacle of your presence
