Easy for me to begin by saying that "His" could also be "Her" or simply "God's" but i will not change what Merton has written and will try to respect his writing!
Somehow this day was consumed with much doing and little being...worrying about all that i needed to do left no space for being and inevitably the doing i did manage was less than well-focussed on my studies. Now what was it i wrote yesterday?!
Lamentations reminds me that God's steadfast love never ceases and further that God does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone (chapter 3). If i keep my being directed towards God there is hope no matter my despair.
In the midst of anxiety
breathe Your calm on me
As i rush from one thing to another
bring me to a pause - Selah!
When i worry about others' health
send Your Spirit to hold and heal.
