Spirit May Speak Gently

Hearts and Minds

May we come with hearts
and minds prepared
seeking to be still
and seeking to listen

Help us to keep Him
at the centre of our lives
to be attentive
and open to His Spirit 

For He may speak gently
into our hearts
and into the circumstances
of our everyday lives 

This day and every day
Amen

— Elizabeth Mills, 2018 (source)
Quaker poet

Reflect on the idea that Spirit may be speaking to you through the circumstances of your everyday life. Seek to listen more closely instead of waiting for a louder voice.

When has it taken courage for you to follow a leading?
