I’m listening.
Still my spirit.
Still the voices in my head.
Let me hear You.
Directing my deeds.
Directing my words.
Directing my days.
This Christmas Eve.
Every day.
Every year.
The chatter is loud inside my head –
Presents to wrap!
Sermon to practice!
Chores to do!
Christmas chatter.
So I pray for ease –
To give gentleness and joy and a spirit of peace to all who come to worship today.
Let the anxiety be.
No need for it.
People bring enough of their own anxieties – there is plenty to go around without my contribution.
God is near.
God is here.
Emmanuel.
