Prayer Pause

A coffee break is a good time for prayer! When we pray at the outset of or day, our prayer is often for general guidance and help from the lord. When we pray in midst or day , Our prayer is much more likely to be Specific aimed at immediate need and concerns. By the time a coffee break rolls around , we have a much better idea of what our day holds including what particular dangers, difficulties , or temptations we are going to face ! It is with that knowledge born of experience that this prayer of St. Patrick takes on even greater meaning : May the wisdom of God instruct me, the eye of God watch over me , the ear of God hear me, the words of God give me sweet talk , the hand of God defend me, the way of God guide me , Christ be with me. Christ before me . Christ under me . Christ over me. Christ on my right hand. Christ on my left hand . Christ on this side. Christ on that side. Christ in the head of everyone to whom I speak. Christ in the mouth of ever person who speak to me!
. Christ in the eye of every person who look upon me . Christ in the ear of everyone who hears me today. Amen. Take time in the middle of your day to ask the Lord for His warp-around presence, His unending encouragement, and His all-sustaining assistance. And be a vessel that carries his presence , encouragement, and assistance to others. ( Uphold me according to your promise , that I may live. ) Psalm 119:116 This I did not write but I got it from Honor Books I hope you all enjoyed it. God
