A friend of mine send me this in an email this morning. As lots of us, myself included,
are on the cusp of new seasons here, I found it appropriate. It is a prayer for new life in transitions, from the Common Prayer book by Shane Claiborne &comp.
Lord help me now to unclutter my life, to organise myself in the direction of simplicity.
Lord teach me to listen to my heart; teach me to welcome change, instead of fearing it.
Lord, I give you these stirrings inside me. I give you my discontent. I give you my restlessness. I give you my doubt. I give you my despair. I give you all the longings I hold inside.
Help me to listen to these signs of change, of growth; help me to listen seriously and follow where they lead through the breathtaking empty space of an open door.
Amen.

Attended a workshop in Frankfurt where heard the following truth: A driven life is me-centered, when a Jesus-centered life is more relaxed: you can cherish small moments, take time to listen, slow pace and have deep peace, have more control of your time and find a sense of purpose -all this were comments from the audience.
